Hi All,
I just wanted to keep everyone posted and let you know I'm heading in tomorrow for my ProDisc. It's exactly three months after my last scheduled surgery, when I found out the night before that insurance was a no-go. So, I'm anxious and scared to death about the surgery, but hopeful that insurance doesn't back out again last minute. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and I'll be feeling much better in a few weeks and get back to being a normal 24year old.
Luckily my Mom is able to take off this week, and my fiance is up from New Jersey with me for two weeks to make things a bit easier. I have chloraseptic throat spray, straws, lots of pajamas, and tons of movies to entertain myself over the next few weeks. Does anyone have any other last minute suggestions for things I need for the time right after the surgery? Or any suggestions/hints on how to make this work out the best possible?
Thanks everyone for your help!
Best wishes,
mgs32
