Pre-Surgery

I'm having back surgery tomorrow.
 It's called a "Minimally Invasive Lumbar Tubular Microdiscectomy"
 In other words the doctor will make a small incision in my back, go in with a scope and camera and remove a bit of the spine, move my nerve out of the way, trim my "bulge"(the disc that is protruding), replace the nerve and hopefully that will do the trick.
My only fear is that I will still have pain.
Or that it won't work.
But I think it will be better then what I'm dealing with now.
For the last 5 days I haven't been able to walk, stand straight, or feel painless. It's been a nightmare.

  This is me right now. I look and feel like crap.  Things can only get better :) LOL
