Back Surgery Number 4

fusionSo I go in for back surgery number 4 on Wednesday. I’ll be in the hospital for a couple of days — stoned on pain meds.

(I’ve loaded my iPod with “White Rabbit,” “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” and the complete Pink Floyd.)

So I’ll be out of commission for a few days. It seems my earlier L5/L4 fusion has to be redone. The bones never fused. And so they’ll want to grab the L3 to be sure it works this time. Ugh.

Not sure how long I’ll be away from the computer, but I’ve posted several days ahead — of course, I’ve done it while needing a spinal fusion — meaning I’ve not always been in the best of moods. So you’ll understand the occasional fit of sarcasm.

If it gets too intense, well, there’s always Pink Floyd.
