I hope your wife get's well soon and takes all the time she needs to fully recover. Make sure she completes any rehab or exercises the doctor's recommend it will help in the long run.

 

Thanks everyone. I stayed the night at the hospital (miss my bed lol). On the plus side, the food here is not horrible (it's all supposed to be semi-healthy). The thing that has me irritated it the fact they did away with any REGULAR pop (it's all diet-type pop, if they have pop at all). So, I had to bring some good ol' Pepsi.

As for my wife's back issues, she's been dealing with them for some time and the pinched nerve only made things worse (as her left side would go numb now and then, she describes it like when you have a leg fall asleep, that feeling). The past couple of years, her pain management doc had her doing these injections and they helped but the last time she got them, no go (hence the turn to a surgeon). We're hoping this is a means to an end for her pain and numbness.
