Wow what an amazing surgery and recovery. Thanks for sharing. I am having a consult on a clinical trial for the XL TDR in 3wks. I can only hope and pray that it goes through (as BCBS won't cover ADR as you know) and that my surgery and recovery go as well as yours as I can't take more than 2wks off work. If I am not a candidate then I will have to get fusion.
