Well I have put it off long enough and now I am having troubles sleeping. I have bad Stenosis between L4-L5 and they are going to go in and grind it out. They are also installing a "coflex" brace to strenghten the area and still allow flexure of the joint so it is not a true fusion of the spine.
Looks like Cobra rides will more than likely have a few weeks off
But it is a outpatient procedure and I may get back to work in less than 2 weeks! I am looking at the end of September for the procedure pending insurance etc.
Wish me luck.
