Getting a bit anxious, but also relieved knowing the end of the excruciating disk pain will be gone. Anxious about possible other side effects that may occur from surgery. Stay tuned. I will definitely post when I return home and keep progress posted for those researching this site.

Thanks to all for your heart felt responses. Cathy, I have Principal for insurance with Sagamore Health Network PPO. They authorized and approved it really fast with me taking the initiative to have a second opinion with another NS. I am hurting so bad today, that I am starting to smile looking at Thursday morning. My wife had to dress this morning again. That really bites if you ask me. Not being able to bend at all without serious pain. Oh well, thanks again and I will have alot of time during recovery to check in here and provide feedback.
Mike.
