Griff,
What a miserable story. Seven years is a LONG time to live like you have. Hopefully you'll get same surgical prescription back from all three surgeons saying that you're a great candidate for ADR. I hope you hear back from them soon.
On this site we've seen lumbar patients recover to varying degrees of activity. Some return to 100% of what they were doing before, but most have their quality of life restored. As you've probably noticed, there is a lot of lumbar experience on this board.
Good luck, Jeff
