SURGERY UPDATE

WELL..SURGERY IS DONE AND I AM HOME. MY SURGEON SAID THAT THE SURGERY WENT WELL ALTHOUGH SHE IS UNSURE IF THIS WILL FIX MY PAIN PROBLEM COMPLETELY. I GUESS MY HERNIATED DISC HAD BEEN THERE A LONG TIME AND PIECES HAD BROKEN OFF AND WERE STARTING TO HARDEN (THAT IS HOW SHE KNEW THE HERNIATION HAD BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE) SHE WAS ABLE TO PICK OUT ALL OF THE PIECES THAT HAD BROKEN OFF SHE THINKS-BUT SAID THAT MY DISC IS IN REALLY BAD SHAPE. AFTER TAKING OUT THE LOOSE PIECES AND CUTTING OUT THE HERNIATED PART SHE IS CONCERNED THAT THE DISC WILL JUST KEEP COMING OUT OF THE HOLE LEFT THERE NOW BECAUSE THE DISC IS SO CRUMBLY. SO....TIME WILL TELL. I APPRECIATE ANY PRAYERS FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY! I AM ON A LOT OF PAIN MEDICINE SO I SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN BED RIGHT NOW-BUT I HOPE YOU BE UP AND WALKING SOON!
