  • Talking to a surgeon on April 1

    I talked to the surgeon's assistant yesterday to see if I was a surgical candidate, which I am. So, on April 1 I talk to the surgeon that would be doing the surgery.

    Apparently, a couple of the discs in my back are compacted against the nerves to my legs causing the constant pain, so they would need to cut down the discs and release the nerves, so they can heal.

    I am a bit scared, first of dying on the table and the second being paralyzed from the waist down, but the thought of not being in constant pain is starting to over come the fear of the bad things that could happen.

    So, I will go through with it and maybe not have to be on pain medications just to make it through the day.

    Wish me luck and/or pray for me. I can use all the good will I can get right now.

            Good luck. and speedy recovery. My fiance had his spine fused a year ago. It sucks but is worth it.

              Best of luck! My boyfriend had his spine fused as well and he's doing very well. There may or may not be some small scares though. When he woke up, he couldn't move his legs that day. They freaked out, but then the next day they were fine. I'm assuming his body was just adjusting to it. Don't take this too seriously though! I want you to be glad for your decision, damn it.
              My only regret is that I don't have a better word for "F@#k You".

                Good luck. A back can hurt so bad. I'm sure it's worth the (little) risk.

                    April 1? Umm, might want to take what's been told to you with a grain of salt. No offense and it's probably nothing, but I can think of better days.

                          Sending good thoughts.
                          I hope it all goes well.
                          Back pain is not fun, I know.

                          I was fortunate that I had another option than surgery, even though it was suggested at first.
                          I opted for physio rather than surgery because, even though I have deteriorating discs, the pain is supposedly muscular, and is not coming from the discs.
                          Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

                              Thank you all for the good thoughts, prayers and hugs. You are all very sweet.

                              My little guy tells me I always need a hug, so he would be amused by it all.

                              I also found it funny in a weird sort of way that I'm talking to the surgeon on April. 1.

                              I'm still a bit scared but being able to live my life without constant pain is something I have been wishing for for awhile now.
