So my neurosurgical consult this morning was AMAZING as far as neurosurgical consults go...
Dr. Haines was awesome. He knew I meant business when I pulled out my list of questions.
surgery is scheduled for March 12th. that's only 12 days away! that's amazing! this feeling is amazing! i have a DATE of relief heading my way! an actual TIME and PLACE where pain-free will be MINE! and it's so soon!
yay for me!

such good news. 12 days well 11 now right. remember you will need to give yourself/body healing time .so the pain probly wont magicily dissapear right away. and be awear of infections keep area "clean" sorta speak before and after. I am sure doc has a game plan for you to follow...
so all i can say is glad to hear how things went and more happy you finaly have a place and time with a fine doctor. and family around that matters alot too. keep us updated, you will be in my prayers. we are all in your corner rooting for you
Peace
