Thanks TPatti
I really hope I can get back on my bike some day soon too. My husband has gotten back in to it big time. We used to ride together and were hoping to go back to Vermont to ride a tour we did years ago for our 25th this Sept. Oh well...
I definitely plan to consult both US and European doctors before making any choices along with considering fusion. (Which I'm pretty sure will be pushed by most US surgeons.)
I noticed you just had a big surgery. How are you feeling? How did you come to decide on the M6 and Dr.Bierstadt? Did you consult with him in person or by Skype?
