This is all such good news. I leave for Barcelona in the morning and my op is Wednesday. My mind is on packing and making sure everything is sorted house wise. Gotta say tho it's also on my mind a lot as everything I do hurts so much and I'm sure the stress is exacerbating it all.
Thank goodness for hubby, Valium, lortab and fentanyl patches lol!!!
Mia et al, it's nice to know that one can get ones life back, this has been going on for so long now and only getting worse that I really felt there was no hope.
Thinking I could be skiing and hiking again in a few years seems unbelievable. Thanx for all your answers here, it helps no end.
