Deb, thanks for your concern. Tomorrow is the big day. Three level fusion at L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1. They will work through my abdomen to remove the discs, and place the bone grafts that they are taking from my hip, then flip me over, and enter my back to place the hardware. I can't wait, something happened about four days ago, and I have been in really bad pain since. My guess is I ruptured a disc again. I have doubled and tripled up on my pain meds, but nothing seems to help.
How did your discectomy go? I hope it has relieved your pain, you sure have been through the ringer with your back.
I will be off the boards for a while after today, but hopefully will get out of the hospital on Thurs., and will post again sometime after that, depending on my pain level, and drug level.
Rick
