Cathy,
I think you are wise to go for this esp. at your age as I was that age more or less when first contemplating ADR and would have loved to been able to have the surgery with Dr.Bertagnoli. I still think that he's the person I'd want to have surgery with because of his expertise and because at this point I'm sure I'd need vertebraplasty. I may have spelled that word incorrectly tho you know what I mean...
So CONGRATS on moving forward to your new life!!!
