Dear Phylly,
Happy birthday. I just finished reading this thread and I will be praying for you. What a huge decision and huge surgery! It wasn't that long ago that I faced a similar situation. I was scheduled with Dr. Regan last September to have both of my lumbar prodiscs removed. It turned out that I have been able to postpone my revision at least for now but it is always in the back of my mind to some degree.
I will be watching your recovery with great interest and will be praying that you will have a successful surgery and recovery. I am friends with another lady who had a ProDisc removed and revised to fusion and I know this surgery is not an easy one. It sounds like you have a great support base and that is very important to a favorable recovery. My prayers and thoughts go with you!
Best wishes,
Linda
