Re: my take on Boeree and Clavel - decision making for 1 level lumbar M6 Thanks for the info. I'm rooting for you. I have been to Barcelona in Sept./Oct. of last year for a couple of days before a cruise and it was great. We walked to the beach everyday and ate in the little restaurants along the beach. I hope you're close enough to do that.
Looking forward to hearing from you after your surgery.
