Congratulations Nichole, I am glad to see you are all set up now. Thanks for posting all this information too.
I just had another MRI done and it looks like my L2-3 disk problem has regressed since my last pictures were done in July of 04'. I hope this is now stable enough so I can just worry about getting approved for the one level at L4-5 which is still a mess and causing a bunch of pain. If my insurance refuses to cover the Charite then I will be jumping into the study also if I qualify.
