Sounds pretty easy. I might get one of those just to break the monotony of reading IM2's creepy weird threads.


"A one-level fusion joins two bones while a two-level fusion joins three bones. Fusion will take away some flexibility in your spine, but most patients do not notice....

...The ALIF is performed in a hospital setting. Patients typically go home a day or two after surgery; recovery takes 6 to 12 weeks."

You have $70 grand?

Geez, I couldn't come up with one thousand dollars right now if I had to, in this economy. My wife had to skate on a $40 thousand dollar hospital bill a couple years ago, before she got on Medicare. We just blew it off, so we get a call from the debt collector every day.
