Yes I am getting a fusion in the limbar and a multi-level ADR in the cervical today. My surgeon didn't seem to concerned about doing both at the same time. I think because I am in great shape and slim. I know that some surgeons prefer to get it done with one surgery rather than putting a patient through it twice. I guess since I'm an acod hiker of 14ers he thinks I can handle it. We shall see. I believe morphine is the cocktail I'll be on. I'm sure I'll need it!
