I just read the reviews on the link ans posted. Wow, this hits very close to home for me. I think that it would provide a good perspective to read about someone who heroically returned (or at least partially returned) to a sport that every bit of modern medicine said should be abandoned. Personally, most of my friends and family have been quietly or firmly trying to convince me to give up any hopes of ever being able to climb again ever since they heard about my DDD and arthritis. I've always assumed that they were right and that I was being irresponsible or selfish in seeking medical help to pursue the sports I love. I can't wait to hear the other perspective.

Best,
