    What date are you scheduled for?

    Outpatient work or how many days anticipated?

    The 15th Jim - 10 day countdown has started.

    The scheduled surgery is 6 hours so the day of will be day 1 in the hospital. As it stands a couple more days is likely to make sure everything is working in my digestive tract.

    Best of luck with this Chris! I know you may be nervous about this, but keep a positive outlook. Try to remember what the improvement will be post surgery. We are all here rooting for you and you and yours will be in all our thoughts and prayers.

    Hope all goes well for you Cris.

    I know the disk replacement these days is a huge improvement.

    Therese sister did it a few years back and has had vast improvement in quality of life.

    Thanks Aaron,

    Since meeting with the PA today I'm fine with it since the PA's & nurses give the straight story as they're providing the post surgery care & stuff. Got good, honest info on what to expect from someone who knows the ropes. She assists in the surgery along with an army of people. As she said "You won't be real happy when you see me 2 weeks afterwards but will be happy when you see the surgeon after 4 weeks."

    I'm positive it's the right thing to do and that I'll be back wheeling in the Spring. I almost got the PA to tell us I had to stay out of the kitchen for 3 months. Barb gasped but the PA said 1 month should do to which Barb said "I'll stock up on frozen dinners." Yeah, I'm the cook here.

    Now that you're long past your back procedure, how's it feeling?

    That looks like a USB port on the side of the contraption - you going digital adjustments!

    Will you have a knob on your back that will go to 11?

    That would be nice Jim but the space inside the "cage" is filled with cadaver bone. Eeeeww!

    I had a "surgical" root canal this summer. The doc gave me the option, to fill the gap where the root of the tooth was removed, cadaver or synthetic - with the statement that cadaver was much better than synth. Cadaver is fine by me. All but a memory.

    Now if I knew the BIO of the person - that might ride on my mind a bit too much.

    You and Barb will be on our minds - in our thoughts and prayers.

    We only use cadaver bone at our dental office. This is when you do an extraction and want to preserve the ridge (if you plan on putting an implant in). If you don't fill with cadaver bone tissue will fill the space in since it grows faster leaving a void in the bone.
