Have a speedy recovery!!
Thanks. No surgery yet. Wheels don't turn that fast. Tomorrow I am having the "cortisone shot."
In great pain today - oral steroid regimen finished 2 days ago. After the cortisone shot, I will have the flex X-ray to determine if the spondolythesis is stable or not, which will determine the type and extent of surgery.
Thanks for askng. I am on Norco right now, which helps, but doesn't totally solve the pain problem. Sang in church this morning, and used a stool for support. A first for me.
Anyway, I am doing OK, but, wow!! - it can really hurt. No food after 6:30 am tomorrow. Procedure at 2:30 - I will take bicycle ride in am.
Again, tx for asking.
