Cheryl, LauraB,
We arranged another mortgage on our house to be able to afford the surgery in Germany. As I was pretty much bed ridden, couldn't work and going to lose pretty much everything we had. it was a calculated risk. If I couldn't get back to work our lifestyle was going to be very different. My wife spent too many years and much time getting this house the way we want it, and we didn't want to move.
I could barely get out of bed, I felt like I was going to fall down every time I stood up. My wife couldn't support us and I knew I had to get back to full time work and that was only going to happen with back surgery. So we rolled the dice.
My back is getting better, core muscles are not so good, but consider a 7 inch vertical cut down from your belly button, how good should I do?
