Barbaro continues to Improve

Nothing wrong with a lively discussion.....though I prefer not to be called a liar.

I apologize for calling you a liar. I realize now that I should have pointed out what I meant by not really surgery. I doubt your dr. friend could have known this but here is actually what they did

"All this surgery was done under fluoroscopic control, using little, small incisions, so it wasn't like you were opening the leg back up or anything," Richardson said. "These were done through one-centimeter incisions, so tiny incisions."

There is a slight risk of infection, but not really.
