Thank you so much Justin,
I am reading everything I can get my hands on and I also believe that taking the discs out is the best. I know that if the Dr. cannot get the discs out he will fuse the posterior with them in but he also believes that I will do better with them out. If you have any info send it email. I believe that you still have mine. It has been a nightmare for me so I scheduled a surgery soon in 3 weeks. I have to give blood and get my physical. I see Dr. Regan this Wednesday and see what he says also. Thank you for your support. I get pretty teary talking about this all the time.
Phylly
