Had to happen...

[Red Badger]

Well Pilgrims, it had to happen... I turned wrong about a month ago and finally broke down to see the DOC... He took one look at the x-ray and sends me to the MRI and a specialist... Long story short I go in for back surgery L-2 through L-5 maybe 6 & 7... on July 3.

The VA is covering it but he surgery is being done by a civilian here in Tulsa... Not supposed to include a fusion but we will see...

The surgery date is coming up fast -3 July. The faster it's done, the faster you will be healed.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.  Good luck on surgery.  I agree with hotfxr avoid  fusion if you can.  Just don't try to rush recovery.

Good luck with the surgery. You are now on my prayer list.

I have had to deal with a ruptured C5 but got by with a lot of therapy. A prayer for you and wishing for the best outcome.
