Having Back Surgery on Tues

If you would say another prayer for me I would greatly appreciate it. This coming Tuesday I am having surgery on my back. Its minor. Not as minor as the ones I have been having but surgery still. I am nervous indeed.

They are doing what is called a Rizotomy. They go in and cut the 4 probe holes. Put in xray probe camera type things (not sure exactly what to call them lol) and then cut one large spot... they go in and stimulate until they find the exact main nerves in said area.. then they burn them. This should be a good fix for at least 10 months *or until the nerve grows back* however this is my only concern. Sometimes there is present what is called a cluster or mass nerve which looks somewhat like an octopus (ICK!!!) and if that is the case... they cannot burn that entire nerve area as its too large to get something of that size and burn it without burning other vital parts of your spine...

Thanks so much for all the prayers so far and thanks in advance for prayers this time also... and word to the wise... DO NOT PICK UP PHONE BOOKS!!! Use the internet ROFL

They're otomizing your riz? OK. I hope everything comes out well for you. I've had to deal with back pain in the past, and it ain't no fun. My prayer is that God would work all this out for you so you are pain free.

Praying AG. I find it very inspirational that you are faithful to church in spite of your pain. I'll have to remember that next time I feel tempted to "call in".
