It is very good to hear that things are going so well with the facet fusion [edit - SI fusion]. I am sure that you are very thankful that this information and surgeon came along, before you went and had the hip surgery. I really hope that once you come off the crutches, that your neck will start to feel better, along with your lower back, and that you will feel in tip top shape again soon.
