With only 3 days left until surgery I am getting both nervous and excited to get the healing process underway. I am hoping that I am in my final days of being a question mark shape and I am so excited to get this over with. I am confident that having surgery will help and I told mom the other day "I can't even imagine a day without back pain...it could be in the near future and I am excited for that. God had great timing for my surgery, I could not get through this long week of waiting without the Olympics being on tv. How about that mens 4 x 100 relay last night?!? I was so excited I could hardly sleep. Anyway, I will try to keep everyone updated as I recover. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and cards. I could not get through this without my family and friends.
