Looks like I am headed to Texas! Dr. Blumenthal will be doing a hybrid ADR4/5 ALIF5/1 during the later part of April. Just a few weeks, can't wait! My last epidural has left me unable to stand, walk, or sit so basically immobile. The pain down my leg is at a 4-5 at best 9 at worst (always have to imagine there can be something worse at a 10 but not sure what). This helped me make the decision as I can’t imagine making the trip to Europe in this condition. I’ll start posting my experience in the other section when I’m on the other side!
