    Billy, Thinking of you today! You will probably be going in soon. I am sure that it can be a difficult decision when you suddenly started to feel so much better, right before surgery. I have heard of many others who have gone through that. You probably know though that the pain will return, if you are at the point of needing an artificial disc.

    Don't know how I will feel, if in the next few days, I suddenly feel better...oh what a thought. I have never been pain free in almost two years...barely even pain reduced.

    Soon you will be on the other side, and on your way to a whole new life.

    Let us know how you are doing when you are able. I will be cheering you on...and following in your footsteps in 10 days.

    Out of surgery and all is good. I'm glad I did it. I was so anxious prior to surgery, to the point I felt nauseous.

    Thanks to all who has comforted me during this process. And I hope my stories will help others who may be faced with the same issues.

    I think these artificial disk are going to change people lives.
