I know he did his charitable foundation work in July, but I don't know if he was doing more, or taking a well deserved vacation. I think, like Cyn said, that he is back around 23rd.

Can someone explain the auto fusion concept a bit more? Even though I was having neck surgery, on follow up, Clavel discussed my back. He said I wasn't a candidate for ADR at L4-5 due to spondy, and that L5-S1 was auto fusing. So the discussion ended there, ie o adr, so no need for me to waste his time with a waiting room full of local patients. But what happens if 5-1 auto fuses? does it take away the pain? or is the nerve forever entrapped?
