Hi. I'm also new here. It looks like will be a mass migration of information seekers. From what I've read of the posts so far, all I have to do is resist the urge to type "poopy" in another form and nothing will get edited, deleted or closed.
Terry and Dr. J are two of the most well read, articulate and helpful individuals I've had the pleasure to "meet". I hope everyone here gets as much from their knowledge and experience as I have.
By the way guys, my wife has decided on a single level ADR at C5/6 in lieu of fusion.
I have an appointment with a German spine surgeon on 02/07/09 to see what can be done with my issues. I wonder if they can implant a slinky instead of an artificial disc. It may not do much for stability but what a blast going down staircases, eh?
Thanks for all you do,
Bob
