Oh happy day! I'm so pleased to hear this wonderful news PittPete!  CONGRATULATIONS!
I always worry about fusion even knowing that some of you have done quite well with it. Dr. Clavel recommended a fusion of my L3/L4. I don't think I'll do it but, I haven't fully made up my mind yet. It helps to hear positive outcomes.
