Hi everyone!! So I made the decision to have the LB procedure, which wasn't a very hard one for me. My surgery date is December 22, 2009. I'm sooo nervous!! I am currently in nursing school and I am having the surgery over my winter break. I only have 2 weeks until I need to go back to school after my surgery and I am nervous that I won't be ready. I know everybody heals differently so I am going to stay positive because the mind definatly has an effect on the body. I'm so excited to be a part of this "club"!!
