And I don't know if you ever determined whether or not you need lumbar as well as cervical repair (I did) but Dr. Bierstedt did 3 levels of cervical on me first and one week later did 3 levels of lumbar to finish me off. Then a further week in the Hattigen hospital and 3 weeks of Medicos rehab and I flew back to America. So it's an efficient use of time and travel dollars.
