Default discography gone wrong

my 1st spine surgery was with the help of a discography gone bad!
true, it was back in a day when the tests and surgery itself archaeic-i think i spelled that right
anyhow, mine was at the L4-L5 level and blew up my disc-i was in surgery as soon as i could tolerate the anestetic that was in 1979. so when my surgeon said in 2002 i must do a discography before surgery i was sweating bullets,scared to death more of that than the surgery. Was my disc diseased, thats the real question they were trying to figure out. i wish i had my medical records from 30+years ago.
