Hello Ronnie,
I've been thinking about you! I'm so glad that you connected with Dawn, @dawn_giacabazi, she is a very encouraging, kind person!

I will be praying for you as well and also for the medical team on Monday. Your feeling of apprehension is certainly understandable, I would be the same way facing any type of surgery. I also "hear" in your words your determination to have relief from your pain and that will help you through the process. I hope that your cold is beginning to ease up today.

Do you know yet how long you will need the back brace? Will you keep in touch?

Hi Teresa,
Thank you for the good wishes. I'll take all that I can get!

I am not really sure about anything at this time.
I know how long the incision will be but that is about it.
I do not know how long I will be in the hospital. It can be 1-3 nights.
I know I'll need the back brace at least 2 weeks until I go for my 2 week post op and I have my 1st post op x-ray.
I know I'll be needing PT but I don't know when I will start or for how long.

I will keep in touch and keep you informed.

Have a p ain free day!
Ronnie
