Bwink,

Don't feel the need to explain yourself. Get informed including this site. speak to others that are willing to share good and bad. Make your decision with feedback from the person who will need to fix you.

Call Yolanda and have a skype call with Clavel. Ask Clavel directly about people that had issues and get the info from his mouth then you can make a good choice. Contact other surgeons and do the same.

Harrison's point I believe is of frustration that our Docs here will not get the practice needed to help more people here if we keep leaving the country.
He is right and I give him that. Not my back or neck though. I want those that have the most experience.

In the end we all need to be comfortable with our choices and need the emotional support after the fact.

Remember we are losing a part of our bodies which is no different than losing a limb. My next post was going to be about this issue and sense of loss.

I wish you clarity and pain freedom.

Frank
