Nairek,
So sorry to hear about the terrible headache. It is so normal to be a bit jumpy before a major surgery. I would be more worried about you if you weren't nervous at all. You have weighed all the options. Done your homework. And your surgery is right around the corner. You will be better than you know. Hang in there. We are all pulling for you and are here for your questions and general support when you get to the other side. God bless! Cindylou

K: Wishing you my best. I was told by Regan and others that fusion's best for my blown L5-S1. What type of method is your doctor using? If I have fusion I'll go for a posterior approach (if only one level's shot) in case posterior entry is needed later. Not to mess your mind up.
Say hi to your man too. Smart guy. My best ~ Allan

Looks like I'm the first one for the day. Surgery is set for 7:30 am. We have to get up at 3 am to get there on time. Should be interesting.
 See you on the other side.......
