Ah.....Sweet relief indeed......The doctor called, he received my reports.....had studied them, ask a lot of questions, then told me that he is pretty sure L4-L5 is what is causing me most of my problems.
He also believes that the simple
"x-stop" procedure will give me the relief I need to be able to walk without such extreme pain.
I am tentatively scheduled for surgery on Feb. 3rd..... I will travel on Feb. 1st, and check in to the hospital Feb. 2nd so I can do pre-op stuff that night, then he'll do the surgery on Wednesday Feb. 3rd, and I'll probably get to go home on Friday the 5th. This isn't set in stone yet because he wants to visit with the heart dr., and he needs to send me some papers to sign and stuff.........
Knowing doctors and hospitals I will not be surprised if all this changes..... If surgery is delayed a week, so be it..... I will do what I have to do. At least I have hope that I can walk again..... Thank you God! I will keep you updated on any further information, but for now I feel a ton of relief already...

Yeah! A shout of Gratitude! Better for them to be slow and safe, make sure the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed. Many Blessings to you and yours. Love and Light, Nina P
