Whoops! Thanks for catching that. I have DDD at L4/L5. Only mild desiccation at L5/S1. That was just a mistake on my part, I'll correct it.

Lucky bastage.....
JK, thats great news:beer:

Ian,

Did you get Ken Hieberts tip list yet? It can help a lot.

Sorry, I haven't seen it yet. I did a search but didn't come up with anything. Can you post up a link?

Thanks

Ian,

There is no URL link. Ken Hiebert maintains a list of things to consider when going to Germany for ADR with Dr. Bierstedt. It is compiled of past patients experiences, such as myself, we contribute because we hope the next patients experience is less scary and they have answers to questions they may never have thought to ask.

Less scary? Anything I should know? :laugh:

I've been emailing Ken, so I'll ask him about this list.

Thanks

Less scary, let me see. Your flying to another continent, another country, that you may or may not have linguistic problems with. I'm assuming that this is your first back surgery, correct me if I'm wrong, and that should have you scared in the first place, it did me.
Less scary means that people have done this trip and have reported back what works and what dosent work. It means tips like taking an isle seat on the plane so you can get up and stretch, letting your bank know that you'll be overseas and if you need to make a withdrawal they won't cancel the transaction, letting the airlines know your disabled so they can accommodate you better.

Oh yeah, I do this all the time. I'm not the least bit scared... :(

When I asked Ken for the list he sent me a list of names, not a tips list. I'll clarify that I need the tips list.

Thanks again.
