Dr. Corenman, thank you.
I will let you know how it turn out soon. I am working on the relaxing. Surgery is always a bit of a stressful event, but the stress from the quality of life in my case, far exceeds the stress of this surgery. I have a bit of fear, but a lot more excitement of being relieved of such a long term health crisis. I worry about my 11 year old boy more than anything. I cannot imagine what is running through his mind. He has met with my surgeon, and he knows how successful he is, so I think that helped him out a lot. It’s tough going through three spine surgeries in 3 years. I secretly wish my surgeon would video tape the surgery. This stuff is fascinating to me.
Again, great advice, and I will be updating in the near future. That link was very helpful indeed.
