I have some wonderful news!!!! I don't have to have neck surgery!!! I went to the Ortho on Wed. and unfortunately got a migraine minutes before he walked in and because I couldn't see, I couldn't concentrate either. He did talk to Dave and said that although the disc is still herniated, I have gotten it down enough that it is not impinging on the nerves any longer. He thinks I'm still having pain because the rings around the discs are straight now and didn't go back. He has offered a nerve block, which I am going pass on - at least for now. I feel like I'm finally settling back down now and as soon as I have this ICD put in, I can get back into my routine and get comfortable again. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts. I feel like they changed the outcome and I am just ecstatic!
