Hello Lisa,
I am due to go into surgery Sept. 18th Lumbar region L4/5 Possible disc replacement, possible fusion, L3/4 Disc replacement Prodisc. I feel like I am going out of my skin and hustling to get things done before my surgery. I have been making lists of things that need to be taken care of before I go in. I am having my surgery in Hollywood Kaiser by Dr. Fribough. Sept. 9th is my pre-op date and blood donation.
So, we will be 9 days apart for our surgeries. I am guessing that can be a world apart as far as recovery goes. But, I would love to hear your progress.
Sounds like you are in good hands over there.
Abbe
