Update on Bob's Back

For those of you who do not know, my talented hubby hurt his back last summer building our beautiful deck. He ended up having to go through an MRI and we found out he has a slipped (herniated) disc in his lower back. The doctor tried to manage his pain through meds and physical therapy. Bob even had an epidural shot to try and help eleviate his pain, but it has not been enough. Most mornings he wakes up to pain and ends his day in pain.

Sooooo, he is scheduled to meet with a back surgeon on Wednesday to find out what would be involved in having back surgery done. His neurologist has already told him that it is non-invasive, and that recovery is relatively easy, so we are most hopeful this is the answer we have been waiting for. I promise to update everyone as soon as we know what the timeline is for when the surgery will happen.
