Diane cancelled her surgery. We are going to investigate options further. Her condition is still not dire, but her level of function is severely impaired and her pain levels along with a whole host of radicular symptoms have her ready to have surgery ASAP... but the need to fully investigate and make informed decisions trumps the need to do surgery right away and also trumps the wish to do the convenient thing because we think we'll be successful. 'Oh it's just an ordinary surgery that anyone can do', is great in theory... not always in practice.
