Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the comments. It's good to hear about the success you have had with both the fusion and ADR. We typicall only hear about failure with fusions and not the successes. This causes us to lump all the fusions in the same bucket. I think the majority of fusions are successful but that doesnt mean it is the best option any more. 20 years ago it was the "Gold Standard" in treatment however the gold value has gone up and we have more options. It's a shame we have to travel out of the country to take advantage of them.
Unfortunately we have to accept the risks also. (insurance issues and international travel)
Becky's pain doc is doing a good job of helping her deal with the pain. If we can figure out the money side Multi level is the way we will go. Best estimate at this time for Dr. B will be around 70 to 80K including travel. So Spain is an option along with other countries.
Again thanks for your comments and support.
Wayne
