Gretchen, I am interested in hearing how you do after this is all said and done. I have degenerative disks in my back and know that one of these days I am going to have to have something done surgically, but like to have all the imput I can on how people do after they have stuff done to there backs. I will be saying prayers that you recover quickly and can be back on the bike as soon as possable.
