Hi! That is GREAT news that you are doing so good. I have looked at the ActivL alot. I plan to get the Activ L if the Freedom does not get approved within the next couple of months. It has finished the trails in July 2018, just seem to be waiting for final results. I have an appt with Dr. Coric in Charlotte on Nov. 7th. I was scheduled for fusion on Oct. 22nd but have cancelled that appt in order to explore this ADR a little more before going for a fusion. Thanks so much for the link to your story. I will definitely give it a read. I'm so glad you are doing well. Gives me hope!!
