There comes that point for everyone that has been from pain to suffering and you stand at the crossroads. Pain is mandatory in life while suffering is optional. I got to the point where I prayed to die as my life has been fulfilling and I was ready to go. I walked with a cane for about a year and was hunched over like a little old man. My Board of Directors even kicked me out of my place of employment until I got fixed. They wanted the OLD ME back. The only way I was going to get ME back was to get repaired. I am over two years out of four level ADR surgery and feel glad about living again.

No matter what you decide, we will support you in the process.
