Cat: do you want a one-level or two-level ADR? (Noticed you had IDET on another level).
I'm just a rank amateur but I hear that fusion at the L5-S1 level isn't so destabilizing. Yet...it's still fusion. Good luck, Allan

Dear Cat,
So sorry to hear this. We also had bad news this week concerning Pat's workman's comp not paying for ADR. I agree with the above poster in that it will happen eventually, but that is a long time when you're in so much pain. We should try to get together while you are in Michigan. I'll try to email you privately. Robin

Sorry to hear this from so many. What insurance carrier denied you? I have Liberty Mutual Workers Comp. and I feel I may be in for a fight to get to Germany. The NJ doctors have been disappointing.

I want to say thank you for all your support. Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner, but I'm on vacation in MI and I have been very busy with neices graduation. We made it through the party on saturday and we have spent the last 2 days just vegging. Eddie G I have Tricare which is a military dependents. ANS I only need L5-S1 and the reason my doc wants to do adr is because L4 L5 has a very small tear and he believes if I get fusion that it will affect L4-L5 sooner rather than later. again thank you all for your support and I will catch up with everyone when I get back to montana. Cathy
