Title: Back Surgery for my Husband
Post by: Lisa Frederick on November 11, 2005, 12:19:35 PM
My husband Jeremy will be having Back surgery on Monday the 21st.  He was diagnosed with a bulging disc and spinal stenosis 6 months ago after enduring pain in his leg for about a year he tried a series of cortisone shots that didn't help so the next step is surgery. If you could just keep him in your thought and maybe send a few rays it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!   He will be out of work for 6 weeks.  We go on Wednesday for a pre-op apt and plan to ask if there will be any physical therapy needed afterwards.

Mega rays to your husband.  I've battled lower back pain for years and it's no fun.   :pray: that all goes well and he's up and at 'em in no time.

Rays on the way from Iowa...

I have a defect in my pelvic bone where the passage for the sciatic nerve is too narrow for the nerve, so every once in a while, I'm flat on my back.  It's no fun.
