Moving Forward

 Dates for my surgery have been set, and I'm beginning my process for pre-surgery. I will be having a discectomy and fusion. They've decided to do the 3 affected vertebraes. The 10th will be the last day to get any customs or requests in because following the surgery i will be in recovery for 6-8 weeks and it may take longer for me to be able to do high impact activities like running, jumping and bouncing.  It is my hope that beach balls and balloons will continue in my future, but I can not guarantee anything.  I will be trying to get through my back log of balloons prior to my surgery but with pain levels rising and time being finite my full goals may not be reached but I do want to thank everyone for their continued support. 

I got my second MRI

 My Neurologist wants to do 3 vertebrae in my neck in 4 weeks. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for you nerds. I will be out for a minimum of six weeks. Before that I have to have a chest x-ray and an EKG while also submitting to my 9-5 that I will be out for a minimum of six weeks.
