Well, after two doctor appointments today I'm beat. Came home to see my daughters little wiener dog have a heat stroke playing in the yard and my doc's said that I need a 4th spinal surgery. It's not been the greatest day,but definitely not my worst day. the doc says I need more hardware to stabilize my spine, but after the 5 surgeries I had last year I don't think I can go another one right now. The psychological factor is devastating to have that many surgeries ans have that much hardware put into one's body. I declined to have the surgery at this time and figure that I may at least have hunting season to build up to the surgery later.
