Hello Gil and Mark.

I am checking in regularly and myself am also at a crossroads of sorts with my spine. My problems are worsening in my neck and I am a little worried about 2 vs 3 levels of the upcoming surgery. I have posponed several times but I feel I can not wait much longer. I work too much as pain is not too much but the neurological problems it seems everytime I don't pay attention to my body it seems the problems are getting worse. Currently my big roadblock is that my surgeon has stopped communication with me and it seems I will have to take an alternate route. More once I know more myself.

Mark, I really hope you will find improvement with your spine. Maybe doing a little less for some time is good. Those trips to europe must be very stressful on your recovery. I "do europe" alot as well and I find it very stressful with spine problems.
