Upcoming Surgery

Dean mentioned today during worship response that I'm going in for surgery. I figured I'd blog about it and let you know what's going on. Unfortunately for me, I've had fairly intense back pain since February last year. I've gone through my GP, chiropractic, accupuncture, massage, a physiatrist, a pain clinic and now a neurosurgeon. He wants to do two fusions on my thorasic vertebrae. I'm having T8-9 and T9-10 fused together. They'll use 6 big ol' (that's the medical term) screws and a couple of bars of stainless steel to hook it together. They are using BMP and recombinant DNA to put me back together...weird. Anyway, I'll be out of commission for a little while starting a week from Friday. Thanks for your support!
