Hi Bailey,
Great news on your insurance approval. I had a long fight with my ins company too, it was bad enough dealing with the back pain, without having to worry about how the surgery was going to be paid for.
I can really feel for your apprehension, it is so scarey not knowing what to expect and how you are going to feel after surgery. I am now 3 weeks post op and although I still have back pain I am very optomistic it is going to settle down. I can honestly say nothing has been as bad as I thought it would be. I would definately recommend having some help the first couple of weeks. My parents have been staying with me, I don't know how I would have coped without them.
The hardest part for you is right now, just stay focused!!
I wish you all the best.
