Brokeback is set to have microlumbar surgery on Monday, January 21st! One day after Syd's 3rd birthday.
It is outpatient surgery. He will go in around 8 (we think) and then be done by around noon. Then he will need to be a couch potato (I am quoting the dr. there) for 2 weeks. He needs to take it easy for 4 more after that. He really shouldn't even pick up the kids.
They will make a small incision in his back and move the nerve aside, then cut off the two discs that are bulging/ruptured. They used a microscope to make sure it is just right. Ron is REALLY looking forward to it, sadly.
Please pray that the surgery goes well and that it works. The Dr. mentioned that there is a 10% chance it won't help the pain, especially if there is nerve damage. Let's all pray that Ron doesn't have any!
