Thanks to the ADR support community

[ssn711Eng]

All,

I represent the many "lurkers" who visit this site frequently but never post.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the entire community and the moderators in particular (especially Harrison) for maintaining this site. It helped me make many decisions that would have been more difficult to make without the information and vigorous discussion on this site (adr v. fusion, germany v. usa, stenum v. other).

In short, I am a 35 year old male who suffered massive cervical spine trauma in a military accident some years ago. I have herniations from C4-C7. On September 10th, I am scheduled with 1 to 3 level ADR with Dr. Bertagnoli in Bogen. He will determine total scope of treatment interoperatively.

Will be sure to post and share my outcome. But thanks to all of you again -- this site let me know I was not alone in my struggles.

Matt,

I hope your travel and surgery both go smoothly as well as your recovery post-op. I know I probably echo many others with this thought, but I look forward to hearing how you're doing when you emerge on the other side with your ADRs.
