takes long enough. i tried to make an appointment and they wouldn;t do it untill my doc faxed them my records and my films and a letter of referal. well i got it and the earliest they could see me is fuckin april 17th.
thats sort of good cause by then maybe my insurance will cover the surgery. i am going to go have x-rays, give a couple pints of blood to have on hand and get an ekg before i go see him that way it's done.

i'll probably see the doc only 1 time before we schedule the surgery. i am excited but i am scared. it is probably going to happen at the start or just a bit into summer so summer is gonna suck for me this year.
after that though i should be close to 100%.

i'll be getting an artificial disc and it's bad ass. i watched some animations on how it's done. it's pretty fucking cool.

i'm hoping that i'll be back in the shop wrenching in a year or so.

the fake disc is real cool.

my leg has been hurting like hell. my thigh hurts and my shin and the ball of my foot buzzes. it feels like a tuning fork. hopefully all that shit will be gone.
