As always, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks Vin, I love you, my brother!!!

My Doc is a tiny little asian guy, Mose. His Engrish is pretty bad. I asked him the same question, and I asked him twice what we were putting in my back, and got generic answers.
The way it works with him is that he does stuff, and after a few more visits, if I slowly ask questions, he"ll feed me small pieces of information until I can figure out what the hell he's talking about.
The main reason I stick with him is because he's a man of great Faith, he's very humble, and excruciatingly thorough. He's spent a great amount of his own time researching and understanding my neurological condition that's apart from my back surgery that he's treating. I also trust him, without reservation.
The short answer is "yes, I think" on the calcifications, and "No clue" on the procedure.
It's a lot my fault that I don't know the details because I expressly prohibited them from telling me about it, lest it slow things down and I change my mind.
I'll get all the details later.
