When Dr. Pappas first suggested a TAR I was skeptical as my previous doctor has recommended against it. He made me a believer and thank the Lord he did. I am now 8 months down the road and this week I played 2 rounds of golf for the first time in over 5 years and they were pain free. I shot my best round ever at the course I played today and was telling my wife that I felt I was concentrating better than I had in a long time. She said " think about what you were thinking about for the last few years.....your ankle and not hurting it. Today you thought about golf". My wife is a wise woman. We have been shag dancing more and more lately which we had almost given up due to my ankle pain. Dr. Pappas truly gave me a second chance at an active life...THANK YOU!!!
