oh jannie...dear. I thankfully do not have back problems; although I do know three very close people in my life who have had innumerable back and neck surgeries. I can tell you that the medical community has come a long long way with treatments and procedures that I can assure you that you will be OK. I know receiving news such as this problably has you feeling like "eh ok? not so much" but I have a very good feeling about my jannie girl and I will be praying very hard for you. Also, with regard to degenerative disc disease, while incredibly frightening words, is something we all have in varying degrees. The backbone naturally degenerates over time. As well, the very close people in my life that did in fact go through the surgeries, etc (including my brother) have all recovered and come through with remarkable results. Obviously, not having any knowledge of the extent of your diagnosis, I couldn't even say that surgery is an option or necessary for you at this time or in the future, but I want you to know that you will be taken care of by the doctors in the know, and I do pray that you are healed very soon. I hope you are not in a lot of pain, as I know that can be excrutiating what with my recent fall and sciatic nerve issue. Gosh Jannie...please take care and know how very special you are to me.
