Mark, my thoughts and prayers go out. That does not look good, but I'm sure you will get this figured out.

Your friend,

I've read this thread several times without being able to respond because it is upsetting and anxiety-producing (since I also have a C5/C6 artificial disk).

Mark, I am so sorry. As you suggest, this finding may provide some answers. Are you having problems swallowing? Have you checked your bone density?

From your knowledge of the literature, what is the frequency of subsidence with cervical ADR's?

Please keep us updated.

Maria: It's great that you've improved enough to take care of Lola again. Unfortunately, cardiac problems are common in mini schnauzers, which is why they've been used in cardiac research. My mini schnauzer, Ziggy, is now 13 1/2 and despite some loss of hearing and what looks like some arthritis, can be very frisky and energetic; sometimes he has his old puppy look; other times, he looks old and tired.

Mark, I hope you can get it sorted out and find the smoking guns.
