A fracture at L4? Like a stress fracture? So is that vertebroplasty they'll do there? I've heard taking out the hardware isn't nearly as big as putting it in tho it seems like you had some levels done or reinforced not too long ago? I start to get things all mixed up.. sorry!

I'm still working on getting my closing date and haven't made my surgical date yet. I even forgot to write down my preop date... sheesh! I really can't keep stuff straight hardly!

Well hopefully I'll hear about my closing date ASAP so I can plan for things and do my surgery. My back was driving me nutz not too long ago so didn't even get to pack anymore plus I'm just plain ol' sidetracked w/good beach weather. Not that I like to go to the beach and sun anymore just like to walk it and see it. I'll miss being as close as I am to it even tho won't be far from it tho Laguna seems a bit more "busy" than Long Beach and Bolsa Chica, Huntington and some others at least what I saw of it on Easter weekend.

take care Judy and keep me/us posted on what's happening next w/your back.
