First Day of Summer

My lumbar laminectomy and discectomy and fusion is temporarily scheduled for June after school gets out. I say temporarily because I could wimp out, the insurance could not approve or I could decide to do it earlier. June is going to be a busy month because within about three weeks, the Big Guy is going to retire and have a retirement party in which he has been explicitly told to make sure that there are single men there, I'm going to have major surgery and my sister's going to have her baby.

The doctor said that the problem is really my L3L4 discs and that they are slipping to the right and that is why I have so much pain on the right side. I will be in the hospital for three days. I'll be flat on my back for a week. Able to drive after three weeks and hopefully back to work at the beginning of school in August. He said that I should be back to walking pretty soon. He said I may not be able to mountain bike once I've had the surgery because it's a lot of bouncing. I'll give up mountain biking if it means I can walk again. I have to loose 600 lbs.

I'm going to set up a form so everyone can sign up for the days they are going to come bring me food, feed my dogs and duck and visit with me. Because I know that though surgery's a pretty big deal, my sister having a baby is an even more big deal and my momma's going to be busy with Baby and not me.
