 Maria,What an uplifting post!  I'm so glad the way things have worked out for you.  I've been on a journey with my L45 for about 2 years. There will be restrictions, severe restrictions, pain, many odd behaviors (like buying 3 plane tickets to lay down), therapy and more, but I plan on seeing L45 through to a natural fusion.  If I didn't have the ADR at L5S1 I'm pretty sure I would have fused by now.  Good gosh it takes a long time though.
