Here's Hoping

Well, my baby girl, Attitude With Legs, is now in recovery. This morning she went under the knife because her discs at L4-L5 and L5-S1 were ratshit. They put in a couple of rods and six screws and cleaned out the dead discs.

If all goes well, and the surgeon said it went perfectly, she should be home by Friday. She's 31 years old - WAY too young to have to have gone thru what she's suffered over the last couple of years, especially with a 7 year old and an 11 year old to look after. Thankfully my Sidekick - the 11 year old - was able to pick up most of the slack. At least this should make a huge difference in pain reduction and freedom of movement.

I know from personal experience what she'll go thru with bone pain, but she's a strong-willed and stubborn SOB, so I know that with a lot of TLC she'll make it.
