Default tomorrow I get my life back

Hi everyone,
I am a nervous wreck. In 11 hours at 7:30am MST I will be starting a new chapter in my life. This one will have a Prodisc in it at L5-S1. Please say a prayer for me and wish me luck. I will let you know how it went as soon as I can and will see you all on the other side.
Dee
