I love my new neurosurgeon. Dr. Fowlett at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He says I don't need spinal fusion and since my bones are stable I can go ahead with disc replacement surgery when I am ready. He didn't think that I needed to do it anytime soon, so I am gonna save up my pto at work for it. I hope that I can wait atleast a year to do it. I don't like the idea of surgery, but disc replacement will have me moble and going in 4 weeks.

Such a difference from Dr. Striebenger here in Kansas who said fusion with 4-6 months off.
I am glad that I went for a second opinion.

I need to focus now on my exercises in pt and taking my neruontin correctly. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!


Such as life...but thankfully a good one.
