Finally, something has gone OUR WAY!!!!

Went to the neurosurgeon ---- MY HERNIATION IS TERRIBLE!!! So terrible that he wants me to take it easy until I have surgery so I don't rupture it.......But it's a GOOOOOOD TERRIBLE!!! It is so terrible that it qualifies for the BEST AND EASIEST REPAIR THEY CAN DO!!! It's a 20 minute, out-patient, one cut microdiscectomy!!!

I will have my surgery at 1:30 on Tuesday 7/29. I will be in and out of the OR in an hour. Into recovery and home as long as I can get up and walk around, keep food down - I GO HOME THAT DAY!!!! I will only miss ONE day of work as long as I promise not to lift anything....that's my ONLY restriction for 4 weeks.....NO LIFTING!!!!

And what's even better --- Doc said that it will NOT interfere with ANYTHING adoption related if we get THE PHONE CALL!!! WOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!! Finally, the beginnings of my much anticipated RaInBoW!!!

I'll be in the hospital for a much happier reason that day but I'll be sending you good thoughts!

I am sooo glad you got some great news! I have a friend at work that had this done in December. It was no big deal and he was up and around in no time!
