Well I sure hope to be able to ride again. It is one of my favorite things to do. There are so many great places to ride around here. Riding usually forces my back into a relapse so I have avoided it for over a year.
Not sure if I am going to have the procedure at this point. Only 6 days away. I am getting some chest congestion and have been battling a sore throat. Heading to urgent care tonight to get some antibiotics. Hopefully that will knock any bugs out and keep my options open.
I read the link you provided and am very appreciative. The only thing that worries me is that my primary doctor observed me as having some "scoliosis". I have never been diagnosed with that before. This was last week in my pre-op appointment. I hope that I don't have any scoliosis. I read a horror story about someone getting ADR and had adult onset scoliosis. That they should have been disqualified from ADR due to that.
I'm going to talk to the doctor Monday before my surgery and ask him about this.
