Keep plugging away
Well I had my facet block and it didn't help at all. I also had my bone density test which I am still awaiting the results for. I have two appointments with surgeons in June and just can't wait to move forward and get more information on the decision regarding ADR vs. fusion.
So much to think about...especially when it comes to raising the $$$. My insurance won't pay for me to go out and I do not feel comfortable with them doing surgery. They amputated someones left leg months ago when it was the other leg they needed to do. My left, your right is always on my sharpee. More later.
