I'm having major back surgery tomorrow [View all]

And I would love any positive vibes, energy, thoughts or prayers to help me through these next two months especially.
This will be my fourth operation on my lumbar spine since September of '21.
The system doesn't make things easy if you're poor, Medicaid ran me around with denials since last fall and I just got the final approval Monday.
I love the DU members, they're valuable opinions, the vast knowledge I've gained here and your forgiveness and instruction with my occasional demonstrations of naivety or ignorance. You all have been my source for news, laughs, tears, and every other emotion imaginable.
