We wish Geri the best of luck with her surgery.
Kelly went through two back surgeries and they worked out fine.
Just make sure she follows the doctor's orders !!

I’ve had major surgery - the most important thing is to have someone in the hospital with you, to fetch ice or nurses or generally keep an eye on things. Hospitals are understaffed and I feel for people who are there alone. Best wishes to the Wrench Wench..

My thoughts and prayers are with Geri for tomorrow, Al. I can definitely understand her apprehension. Conventional wisdom always has us viewing back surgery like a doctor-induced bogeyman, but please let her know that the techniques and the technology have gotten so much better over the years. I had a two part lumbar spine surgery a little over a year ago, and I can honestly say it was one of my better decisions. My only regret was not having it done sooner. The pain relief is significant.

I know how nervous I was when I went in for shoulder surgery. can't imagine how it would feel to have surgery on your back.

None. My wife has one too many. Kidding!
The Missus and I join in wishing, praying, hoping for Geri's good luck.

Even though you gave the Rb that BELL.

But seriously, you and yours are a bright staple here. Take care.

I’ve got you and yours in my thoughts and prayers! Back surgery would make anyone jumpy. Here’s to a successful outcome and a speedy recovery.

So true , I've had my share of back procedures and surgery's,. technology has advanced considerably and minimally invasive. But I do understand her apprehension , going under anesthesia.

SO the Doc came out and said the procedure went well and as expected. Just what you want to hear. I'm waiting for he to come out of the rec room. Thanks so much to PF friends for thoughts and prayers - we read them all before she went in. Salty was even calling fo her when I went home to feed the critters. I should see her in 1/2 hr or so. Thanks again.
