Molly,
So Dr. Zigler did your Charite' before, and now the fusion at same level, L5-S1? Interesting. I hope this works out well for you. Please keep us posted on your recovery. Good or bad. It helps us all to track these different procedures, especially one as unique as yours. I hope you can still enjoy your holiday with some low pain levels (thanks to drugs!) and have a blessed New Year!
Cindy
