off the fence - I have a surgery date!

[Diane]

Well, I finally made my decision and scheduled surgery...tired of living like an 80 year old woman. I'm sure you've been there, thinking that you're doing ok and can tolerate the pain but, then come the bad days. I'll be putting myself in Dr. Bertagnoli's hands for a one or two level disk replacement. Scary to think of major surgery but excited to be moving forward. It's a relief to have made a decision and easy with Mark arranging everything. He definitely did not want to make my decision and at times will not say enough, but I can tell by the smile on his face that I've made a good choice. I'm sure my anxiety will increase as the date approaches...March 26th.
