Brian's going under the knife ...

Brian FINALLY got the results from his "back injury analysis" we'll call it ... and it looks like he will be having back surgery. Turns out that his disc is almost completely herniated and the nerve is herniating as well. The surgery is pretty non-invasive and he will be able to walk out of the hospital after the surgery, but it's still really nerve wracking for me.
I will never forget how much pain he was in when the injury originally happened and they have said there is a possibility of that pain returning. That scares me.
Recovery should be fairly quick, but he won't be able to lift anything for 3 weeks, and nothing over 20 pounds for 3 months (that includes our 20 pound baby!)
He is very excited to finally get this taken care of once and for all and get back to his active, painfree lifestyle he is used to living.
If you have a spare second to send a thought or prayer for a perfect surgery and speedy recovery, it would be more than appreciated!
