Wow! 3 ADR's & a fusion. I can't even imagine going through so much surgery...
Nairek,

I can't respond from first hand knowledge, but I've read that a lot of people go fusion with S/1 and are able to have ADR later if necessary, like CindyLou. (CL the audacity of some people, highly compensated, pay for it - you should have reported her)

I think for your own peace of mind and so you will be in the best condition for your surgery, you need to put the behind you. Be positive. I really believe that this will be best way for you.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers during your surgery and after. Sandy
