I'm going in for surgery tomorrow. I actually discovered in my follow up meeting (before surgery) that because I'm part of a study I have to be open to either a fusion procedure or artificial disk replacement.
A computer actually determines which procedure I'll get at the time of surgery; 2/3 chance for the disk, 1/3 for fusion. It's necessary for the control study.
I was pretty pissed at first but realized I need one or other anyway.
Wish me luck.
