This sucks! Can I change my user name to "The youngest 80 year"? 
You know? I never had any surgery ever in my life! I have all my gizzards and giblets! Not anymore LOL!
Kind of frightened about this though! I've got two weeks to think about what could/can go wrong. |
I feel for you.
I am a sufferer of 2 herniated discs for over 18 yrs.
Not fun.
However, please make sure that you have gotten a good second opinion.
A conservative second opinion would make one stop and think.
Sounds quite serious what they are about to do to you.
I have put my surgery off for years now and as long as I can walk, take pain killers and get an occasional epidural, life goes on.
This stuff is serious.
Best of luck to you and a speedy recovery.
