Oh, it's a wreck, but my physical therapy regimen is doing a great job of fooling me into believing its not so bad.
Ya think we can get a volume discount on spinal surgery? What procedure are you getting?
My biggest issue is instability and loss of disc height, which could result in a more serious injury. I also have scar tissue, compression of the nerves, and arthritis. So I need a two-level fusion at L4-5 and L5-S1. Plus they will decompress L3-4 while under the hood.
Docs have said I could lose weight, do yoga and PT until I'm blue in the face. None of that will fix the instability.
Fusion is still a big deal, but it is less invasive now then it used to be.

I'm gonna try to make it out tomorrow. I probably wouldn't be there till closer to 6. Maybe I will see you guys out there.
@htpaul had that a few years ago. He was off the bike for months, but once he recovered he was good as new. Knowing him, he probably had the best surgeon on the east coast.
@Dominique see you at 5?
Don't think I can make 5, but I could be there for 5:30.
Good, see you then.
