Deb's Turn In The Surgery Barrel :-(

Here we are preparing for another surgery in the family - this time it is Deb's turn. Not fun for either of us, but definitely harder on her than on me this time (maybe last time as well!)

Deb is having back surgery tomorrow (June 2) at Fairview Riverside in Minneapolis. She is having a nerve coming from her L5 vertebrae area decompressed to hopefully relieve some serious and unrelenting pain she has been living with. While he is in there, Dr. Schwender will also remove the rods and screws from her fusion which is fully healed and looks like a total success, structurally. Recovery is expected to be much easier than the fusion -- we sure hope so! Her doctor's current plan is for her to be off work for six weeks this time (it was 3 hard months last time).

I will be posting periodic updates here and links to them on Facebook so that you can keep up with what is happening.

Wish Deb the best - she needs it! She already has one pain in her posterior (me!) and I think one ought to be more than enough for anyone, don't you :-)
