Been at bit busy since I came back from Melbourne, and there is lots to tell, but essentially I'm going for posterior fusion (yeah, the old-fashioned way :( ) around 25 Sep. My days of pain and lugging x-rays around are hopefully coming to an end. Now I just have the anxiety of the operation and the chance of a second failure.

On a related topic, CNN.com has a nice article today about firing your doctor: http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/08/16/ep.fire.your.doc/index.html. I could have done with this advice many times in the last few years!
