Boxer,
There are quite a few police officers and firemen that have stopped by here; Jb88, JPJH, hayzer912, ferr37, billyboy710, JudyW, Zoticos, truck54 (and others). Some had lumbar ADR, some cervical, some neither. Some had surgery in the US and some in Europe. Some returned to work, resuming all of the physical demands inherent in those occupations; including carrying people out of burning buildings (Zoticos/lumbar ADR). I don't believe that any of them post here any more, but if you PM them, they'd probably be happy to share their experience.
Good luck (and be careful out there), Jeff
