Scared
I typed that one word and about started crying.
I am having surgery in the morning to correct a herniated disk with a segment of material that has broken off and is pressing on the nerves. I have been having pain from this for some time and it has kept me from doing things that I would like to have done. The pain today has been almost unbearable and I tried taking more pills than I should have to try and bring it under control. No dice.
I am lying here on my stomach using Gunner's computer as it is currently about the most comfortable position I can be in right now.
I have done everything I can about this, the doc is first rate, the proposed operation is very conservative, and my family is going to be there for me.
But I have reached the point where the results will not depend on me, but on others and that just scares me to death.
I have 12 hours and 30 minutes before I have to be at the hospital.
Wish Me Luck.

My dad had that very same surgery. It was a world of difference, his pain went away after that surgery. I pray it'll go as well for you.

I'll pray it all goes for you, too! I hope that after tomorrow, you will be pain free!!

Me too.
Its just going to be a whole lot easier contemplating it about 24 hours from now.
I'm scared silly right now.

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, and I'll say a prayer tonight that you will be peaceful about it all.
Best wishes,
Ginger

I've been so behind on my reading that I'm just now seeing this. I hope the surgery went well... I'm thinking about you. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Chicken soup? Laundry?
