 Just what is that procedure?
 I had an L5 - S1 Spondololisthesis BEFORE I had my moped accident.
 In that accident I broke my neck at C2,  my left collar bone, all my left ribs
in TWO places each and my right 10th rib.
 Needless to say, I made my Spondo a LOT worse.
 To compound my problems, an MRI in June of '90 discovered an impingement on
the spinal cord at T8 - T9 and a problem at T2.
 My greatest pain is at night when I go to bed!
 Thank you,
 Orville

... I look better than I feel.
