Default update from Cavalier 5 yr's later - HAPPY VERY happy

My ADR L4L5 birthday is almost upon me- on July5th 2004 so my ADR is coming on 5 yr's old sitting is still not my best position but I still take nothing for this & considering what I had & what we had to work with - I am VERY satisfied as life compared to the pain I had is nothing, My only issue now is my neck & that is posted elsewhere but my surgery for this level & keeping my herinated L3L4 from needing surgery has so far worked knock on wood hard. I consider this surgery a success.

Happy Birthday Jill,

I'm coming up on 4 years and agree that sitting can be uncomfortable at times but I too consider my life now so much better than pre-surgery. Just to demonstrate that different levels of success will satisfy different desires.

My best to you, Dale

I TOTALLY agree with you Dale - while sitting is not that improved - I was used to that limitation anyways as I didn't have that before ADR - however I still consider the surgery a TOTAL success considering what there was to work with & the deep pain levels I was in - my low back is def. world's better & I am reminded of the difference every day.

Interesting to know 2 people have the same thing & we are both still happy campers overall - as again not the pure hades that was unrelenting for 10 yr's prior.
Now for the neck & I would be OK again.
Best - Jill
