well, we just got back from seeing my neurosurgeon a little while ago, and guess what...i'm looking at surgery again less than a week after our engagement party. i'm having one of two things done 1) a fusion or 2) a disk replacement. the fusion is dangerous and is probably one of the biggest back surgeries one could have, and don't i feel so special...i would be his youngest patient to have a fusion caused by degenerative disk disease. and i am the first person on his list to be discussed during his spinal comference on monday. now i feel extra special. the disk replacement is an experimental procedure right now (it hasn't been approved yet), and i don't know if i'm qualified for it. so he's going to call and check on that for me and by friday we'll know exactly what surgery is being done and when. i'm thinking it's going to be the fusion, but who knows. if it is the fusion, i'll be in bed for about a month and a half after the surgery, and i mean literally in bed. well, wish me luck i guess.
