I went to see the spinal surgeon about my back today. He showed me on my MRI that I have a collapsed section of my lower back and my only option is to have spinal fusion which is major surgery and that there is only a 50% chance of it succeeding.
I am going to try and see the surgeon who would do that and see what he says. The good news is that if it succeeds my back will be fixed.
I am ready to face the fact of it at this point no matter what happens.
The fact right now is the pain is tolerable with pain meds and I still have limited mobility.
In the meantime I am enjoying and appreciating the fact that I feel good and am still able to function.
If Richard can do it I can do it.
