Thanks both for your replies.
ADR was definitely an appealing concept, but with the bulk of the problem being large osteophytes, my neurosurgeon will be working hard to decompress my cord. I was disappointed when I understood I wasn't a candidate and a bit stunned at what he initially suggested. He actually is a primary investigator in the use of the discs as well. Alas.
Luckily the images are quite clear and the cord compression is the only reason I am succumbing to this surgery.
Just got the call from the nurse today that all is set to go.
Any post-op food suggestions?
