Survey says.......I am a good canidate for the ADR surgery. That's 2 spine surgeons that have agreed now. I found my list of questions that I asked the 1st surgeon to bring with me. Unfortunately, Dr. Kuflik has only done 10 ADR's. I also have the misfortune of having a WC injury which wasn't resolved before my MVA. :::sigh::: So now we try & figure out if NF will pay for it. But after 4 hours on trains & subways, & 3 hours sitting in a classroom, I guess we can worry about that another day.  Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post!
