Back surgery,

[Lauria Orr]

This really has nothing to do with Doodlers, other than to mention that my 2 darlings are the best therapy dogs! 

I have been having quite a time with low back pain and recently had an MRI.  I have 4 disc areas that are effected and 2 are pretty bad, compressing the sciatic nerve.  I am flying to Scottsdale AZ with my husband on Wed., to go to the Laser Spine Institute for minimally invasive surgery.  They have been very professional and offer a procedure that seems very reasonable to me. I am asking for positive thoughts to be sent in my direction, as I am anxious about it.  My surgery date is scheduled for Mon. 9/26. Thanks everyone!  I love this site of supportive friends....
