Sherry, you are very fortunate to have healthcare that will cover your surgery! For many of us, that just isn't the case in the U.S.
Do you know what type of disc they are going to use?
Try to think positive thoughts. You are almost on the other side of this ordeal. Sending you prayers for a successful surgery, quick recovery and getting back to a normal pain free life!
