My back has been somewhat better over the last week, but I think it was mainly because of the drugs I was on for it. Now that the drugs are gone though, the pain is back just the same as it was before. :(
Luckily though, I got a call just before 5:00 today. It was the neurosurgeon's office asking if I could reschedule for Monday morning instead. Thus, I will be getting in much sooner than I had expected, which is a good thing. Hopefully they can offer some sort of solution that doesn't involve surgery.
Neurosurgery is relatively advanced this day and age. If the operation isn't a real heavy one, I suggest considering. If it fails, you could always ask the GF to push you around in your wheelchair! :-p
Haha. She probably would, but I'd be on my own getting up and down the stairs to the apartment. :P
