Today is the Day

I officially go in for my L5/S1 MD + laminectomy in about six hours. I’ve never had surgery before, and am experiencing minor symptoms at the moment, but I still know this is the right decision after how difficult life has been for the last few years. Weirdly enough, my biggest concern right now is that I can’t eat again until after the surgery 10 hours from now and I’m already feeling kind of hungry!

I’ll probably post back with updates for people like me who really want/need to see other people’s experiences with this. Good luck to those whose dates are coming up soon, and wish me luck for my own experience later today.
