Doc, please stay. You have a level of knowledge that in most areas exceeds the combined knowledge on this board and you give extremely valuable input that the rest of us can't; possibly to the point of life saving input as in your most recent impartation to srajan.

Vicki, please stay. You have a tragically long experience with spine problems and have revealed two issues in your medical history, here and in your blog, that I've not seen previously mentioned by other spine patients. With the uniqueness of your experience you will certainly be able to help someone else that comes here with either of those two afflictions.

As this spine forum is not spine surgery, we are afforded the convenience of a mulligan. Perhaps we can all swallow really really hard, put this unpleasant business behind us and go back to the reason that we've all stuck around after our successful ADR surgeries; helping others.

Jeff
