Thank you Shari! It's a wierd birthday - 2 months to the day before my surgery. Thanks for thinking of me.

Hope you have a little fun today, but it's hard when you have surgery looming ahead... did you decide to go ahead with fusion to the sacrum after all? lisa

pushing hard in recovery !!
They didn't ask me if I would go through with the surgery to the sacrum. They told me I will be fused to the sacrum. It's silly really, but I hadn't thought of it as an option before you posted. Of course it's an option as it is my health. But, hey, I can't even donate blood for myself. I feel pretty powerless. However, I know I need this surgery and I need to be fused to the sacrum. I'm just a little wigged out as the time counts down. I have too much to do and don't have help lined up for the entire 16 weeks of recovery (when I can't pick up my little twinados) yet.
