Good news! I now have a date for my impending spinal surgery....it will be 19th February 2013. This will be me my tenth and last surgery....it is a make or break situation!
I will be having the metalwork that was put in, in 2010, taken out, a wedge of bone removed from my lumbar region to correct the curvature (or lack of!) and new metalwork inserted, extending up to my neck.
There is no saying that this will remove all of my pain but if it reduces it I will be very pleased. I am also keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to stand up straight again....which I haven't been able to do since my last operation in 2010.
Perhaps then I will be able to get back to my tatting....I shall take some into the hospital with me in the hope that I can do a little after my surgery.

I am so sorry you are in so much pain. I will be praying that your surgery is a huge success.
That sounds drastic - and painful for you. I hope that the surgery will fix your problems, or at least, make them easier. Pain-free is always good!
Best wishes for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. Good luck with the tatting
Hope everything goes well for you. Will be praying for your speedy recovery so you can get back to the tatting you love.
