Looking forward to meeting with my neurosurgeon in the morning. This is my 2nd appointment with him. He had me do two different bone scans to see if my back can handle the hardware (rod &screws) I already put the disc with the results in the truck. It is about a 2 hour drive to meet with him.
He and I are going to have a very serious chat about putting metal in my back. I have become uncomfortable with this idea. I hope he can come up with an alternate surgery. Don't get me wrong, I really like this doctor, have a lot of confidence in his experience and talent. I have plenty of time to decide because I have to save up enough leave ... it will take months. In the meantime, I want to get a second opinion, perhaps even a third.
