So I had my doctors appointment since having the painful needle test done, and more bad news.....
So the test showed I had a bulged disk, and ruptured disk. Already knew that. Also knew about the fracture, and knew that lower section of my back was mis-shapen.
What I found out today is...there's bone fragments floating around there, they will have to go through my back and not my stomach as originally planned. They are removing the lower portion of my back because it's too badly damage to repair. They will fuse my disks together. Surgery went from 1hr to 3hrs. And I'll be in the hospital 1-2 days.
But on a good note. It's not until December. And he wrote me a doctors note to take my last school final EARLY so I have the appropriate recovery time before starting back.
