These are just a few of the lovely photos that the orthopedist showed me as he cringed and announced that surgery would be needed, two different types actually: a partial laminotomy and a diskectomy.

I have an appointment to talk to the surgeon Friday, let's see if I am still as eager for the knife afterwards,
