Hi Jeff,
I know Dr. Yue doesn't try to help people he can't and he doesn't make junk.

We have to turn over every stone in this search to get well and do our own homework. In the end the funnel narrows and we shoot out the other side so fast we wonder why the process took so long.

I sort of had the same choice S-1 fusion and L-5 prodisc. I understand from my discussion with Dr. Yue that sometimes fusion decisions must be made on the table anyway.

I choose 2 level ADR because Connecticut Workers Compensation was refusing to pay and I was sold on greater mobility and shorter recovery times.

Like yourself, I was in the hole all alone, never to think I would be in the position I am today feeling like 30 (and looking like 40ish according to feedback just yesterday).

If there was one pre-op question I would have dared to ask is whether or not he thought I could return to skiing double black diamonds in March or if lower fusion would have made it limited to blue intermediate.

Feel free to call me anytime.
