Moose sending good energy and will be praying that your procedure goes smooth and is successful . I am sorry you have to go it alone after 3 days. Do you have any neighbors that could check on you and help a tiny bit? One of my friends did the whole MVD on her own by herself well I mean the neuro did the Mvd ... but she went threw it all by herself..including taking taxi to and from the hospital. Its not the easiest or fun to have to do but sometimes there is no choice. I replied to your post on the MVD diary thread.... I hope you emailed Ella. I want to let you know we are all here praying, thinking of you, and wish for your MVD to be successful . Also hope the recovery time is short and your back on your feet pain free and enjoying life once again in a timely manner with no set backs. Please keep us updated . PEACE BMW
