Hi.
I truly believe the only procedure Alan will want to consider is the endoscopic dischetomy, where you go home the same day.

I saw the video and it looks good. If Alan's ortho guy says he's a candidate, he'll do it. If not, then Alan will have to make up his mind if he wants to consider more invasive surgery. We aren't even sure Alan is a real candidate for surgery yet. Years ago, when we found out it was the bulging and herniated discs that were impinging on some nerve root, Alan was told, nothing could be done, BUT that was years ago. New techniques develop all the time, and we're hoping this time will be the charm.

Just imagine, Alan has a foot surgery, I have to wait on him for 6 weeks, Alan has back surgery and it's not the same day thing and I have to wait on him for 3 to 4 weeks. That's 10 weeks almost of me waiting on him hand and foot.

REALLY??????? He better then get a job and take me to Disneyworld or he WILL NOT BE HAPPY MARRIED TO THIS ITALIAN WOMAN!!!!

He will be sitting on top of the refrigerator for a LONG LONG TIME!!!!!!
Will update.
