pop in to say hello
Just got back from a really long trip for me-two weeks. Went to son's graduation in Ithaca and then London to see other son. We did tons of walking and EATING. I survived all the sitting and will take it easy this weekend. I have not decreased any pain meds but I will try now that I am home. I think at almost 4 months post fusion I hoped for less pain but I am so tolerant to all the pain meds that decreasing is going to be tough for me. I was happy I could go though, something I could never do before the surgery. Just wanted to say hello to everyone and will try to catch up on posts. I did not have email while away. I can see there have been lots of surgeries and news from all.
Phylly

Phylly... I'm so sorry that you are back in the 'game' again. I've been delinquent on the forum too as I've been dealing with a lot myself (4-level cervical/thoracic ADR 8 weeks ago) and am just starting to catch up.
Were any of the tests determinative? All the best, Mark

Phylly,
Although you are still having some pain issues, I think it is good news that you were able to do so much traveling. I'm not sure that I would be able to make the flight to London! Hang in there.
