Yes, L 2-3 is really bad and will be needing surgery...
The scrambled looking area in the tissue on the right is from surgeries.

Wedding Photo
Justin and I were married July 28th, 2007 in Denver Colorado. I am currently finishing my Ph.D. at Texas Tech University, and starting an Assistant Professorship at Ferrum College in Virginia this August. Justin is proudly serving the US Army in Iraq from May 2008 to at least June 2009. We love our families, our church, our cats - and of course, each other. This blog is to keep our friends and family up to date on our doings, thoughts, and feelings.

Justin, Karla, Melissa, and Martha!
A great picture from my wedding! Three of my closest friends: Karla, who I have known since 11th grade and has changed my life in many positive ways (center). She has two children and and third on the way, currently living in Las Vegas. Melissa (Right), a wonderful and true friend since my Sophomore year in College. She is married in Virginia now. And last, but not least: Martha (Left), a beautiful and one of the most kind people I have ever known, and met at BYU. She lives in Utah with her two gorgeous daughters. I could not be more lucky in the friend department.
Caroline and I
My friend Caroline at the wedding - we may have met ramdomly, but she is the only sister I have ever had.
Cleo
Defining Spoiled: My baby, spends all her free time in my lap. Not quite sure what I would do without her.
Squishy
Trouble Comes in All Sizes: Justin found Squishy at a garage sale of a friend while living in Oklahoma. She did not have a home, and was sick. He took her in, and the rest is history! She is currently residing with Caroline in SLC, while Justin is depoyed. She and Cleo do not quite get along yet, but their time will come.

Ouch. You know an X-Ray's bad when a layman can look at it and feel like a trained radiologist. Hope you get feeling better and that the recovery goes well. When's the next surgery going to be?
Well, this Dr does not really do surgeries to fix disks, so not really sure. All he was telling me was that it would definately be in my future. When he took the MRI he was looking for bloodclots in my spine, but there were not any - this was just an extra finding (since I have not been able to have an MRI in 1.5 years b/c of the implant).
That whole experience sounds so incredibly painful. How is your leg doing now?
Actually, it is not that bad - the whole "lack of feeling" thing seems to take care of that. I did notice when I was up walkinga few minutes ago I had a nice sharp pain in my right knee - and I am inclined to say that is not a bad thing. Unfortunately my back is infected now (ok so has been since Saturday), so I will be here until Thursday seeing what else I can wake up. :) Then my mother will be here to help...since we are going to both have those wonderful rolly walker things, it will be fun. I think we have left the land of the blind leading he blind and went to the blind leading the dumb....or driving them. :)
yikes, friend! We'll be thinking of you!!
