Finally a surgery date
I finally have a surgery date for a two level fusion (front and back) with case and screws for October 7. I saw about six doctors until I had my answer as to whom to go to. It was tiring schlepping to new docs over and over but worth it.
Apparently due to chemotherapy I had my bones don't qualify for ADR and thus I will have the fusion. I've started to buy my tools...grabbers, etc. I'll post again when I get there. Thinking of everyone.
