Major spine surgery tomorrow

After six long years of trying to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it, my big cervical spine surgery to do a laminectomy to remove the severe stenosis and fusion to put me back together has arrived. I know it won't be easy and a lot of pain lies ahead, but I am ready to get through this before I become paralyzed or worse. I have chosen a top notch neurosurgeon from a field of top spine surgeons so hope for the best.

Talk to you all when I am on the other side and recovering.
