Countdown...... Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Fusion

Hello All!

Thank you for stopping by, well it seems like everytime I am writing here it is a sad story. Why would this one be any different? Lol. Long story short (dontcha just hate when people say that?) I was informed when I went to the doctor on April 15th, I was knocked down by the news that I needed neck surgery! what the what?!! I knew my neck was in pain but I assumed it was because of my RA or Fibro. HA! nope! My C3-4 disc is slipping out of place when I bend forward YIKES! and my 4-5/5-6 is degenerative. basically (didn't i say this was a long story short!) my entire spine is messed up, less my T-SPINE. GO figure. I have been to the doctor SO many times in the last month it makes no sense. CT scans, Mri's, myelograms, discograms.....ugh really!! Tomorrow (yay me) I go see the Cardiologist and I get an Echo! I can hardly contain my happiness! I am a overly plan ahead person and right now I am so not stressed (LIE) but as the weeks come to a close I am getting more nervous! Tomorrow marks exactly 20 days! Money? where am I going to get it to pay my bills? Health Insurance?  Car payment, Car insurance? ugh where oh where is a charity application when u need one? My entire summer will be gone, i can't go back to work for at least 2 months although my doctor took me off for 3 full months( um scoot over dr cause my family is moving in with u) what is it I know how to do if I don't have a job to return to? I mean really!! what am i going to do? right now i am going to log off....my head hurts now.
