Hi Charles,
Just to add a clarifier about Stenum. They do fusions as well, when they think they are necessary. I have met three women who live within an hour of me who had very successful surgeries there this year, and one of them had a fusion as well as ADR.
While they have had their problems, from what I have read on this forum, they have given other six people, who are not on here, but whom I have spoken to, a new lease on life. Thankfully one was able to get her story in the newspaper, where I saw it, and it started me on my journey to ADR land ;-) I still do not know where I will end up. but I will be eternally grateful for what they have done for a few people who have now become friends.
I am still investigating all my options, and may well have found another doctor on the west coast, if I lose my battle with the evil insurance .....
trkdoc, I hope you and your wife can keep each other going. At least you both understand what the other is going through. And please don't shorten your posts!
