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.
