I was so relaxed about this whole thing until I had to sign the consent form Friday and read all the "possibilites". I know they're rare but it's just so scary when you're a parent to think about all the what if's. I just love my DD so much and I just worry about something going wrong and not being here for her.
I can definitely use some prayers and good thoughts that I get through this without completely freaking out. My mom had it 6 years ago and was fine and technology is way better now. I keep reminding myself of that.
I've tried other options but none of them helped and my pain is only going to work and going on pain meds isn't really a long term choice for me. I can't work on them or take care of Miranda. In everyone's opinion this is the best option. I'm just scared now that it's so close.
Jen - Everything will be OK. You will recover from the surgery and be better than new! Just think, you will be able to do so much more with Miranda, your DH and for yourself after you are recovered. I am sure you are in great hands.
I know so many people who have had back surgery and they are all OK!! You will be fine!! Your fears are totally understandable- but everything will be OK
Thanks everyone. I know you're right. I'll be just fine. I'm going to keep thinking positive thoughts. I have a busy day running errands to get everything done before tomorrow so I won't have too much time to think about it. Again thanks for just letting me vent about it.
