Sooooooooooooo............

Many of you know that I have been in alot of pain for the last 3 years with my back! My first surgery was in June of 06, of which didn't help anything! My second surgery was in Sept of 07. Initially there was a fair amount of relief. However in August I started to have alot of pain shooting down my right leg again! So, we tried injections, Physical Therapy, etc etc etc......none of which made any difference. My quality of life stinks....I don't make a trip to the grocery store without hurting....badly! Last week I had a test that showed my nerves were being "pinched off" and today I saw the surgeon AGAIN! It was decided that they will remove my hardware from the last surgery, and decompress at 2 levels. Thankfully it is not as intense as the last surgery, but non the less another surgery. So, at this point I will go in for surgery on January 28th, with about a 6 week recovery period! My Gram celebrates her 90th birthday, and a big bash is planned for mid March, so I want to get this done to be able to celebrate with her, as well as having my family all here from New Mexico! So, if you can spare a prayer or two I would greatly appreciate it! We will get through this, and I am VERY hopeful that the third time is the CHARM! :)
