No laminectomy for me either. The surgeon said the bone quality is poor, which I knew, and he doesn't want to take any chances of another "crash". I agree. I was told I would leave there buzzing. I am supposed to stay with my daughter for a few days. I will discuss my concerns with Pain Man on the 11th and come up with some battle plan. I have reservations about this taking place at the end of the day. I have visions of my son in law taking a script to a large pharmacy, which is all that will be open at that hour, and running into problems getting it filled. I am probably over reacting. I know he had difficulty getting my daughter's script filled after she had her gall bladder removed. The pharmacist said she needed to come in and do it herself. I am most likely getting silly in my mature years.
