This is my first post, but here goes. My first meeting with my Dr was in November 2011, I did everything they wanted..all the testing, scopes, mental evals etc. I went to my last Dr visit before surgery in early April, I was sooo excited!! I would be setting my surgery date on my next visit for pre op!! Then on April 29 my family & I were t-boned coming home from a birthday party. Thankfully my daughter & husband walked away with minor injuries, my son was hurt horribly..air lifted away from us all, but is doing super now!! Myself, well I broke all my ribs on my left side & a few other breaks, cuts etc. when I came to in the hospital a day or two later all I could do was think about "what about my surgery!".. & of couse my son!! I cried a lot!! I called my Drs office & let them know that it would be on hold for a bit, my nurse actually cried with me on the phone that day. Fast forward 8 months...we are all healed up & I got my surgery date!!! January 29th!!!! I can't wait, I'm so ready for this! This site was a real help to me while healing from our accident it kept me hopeful & I can't wait to see what the future holds!! Oh..& go NOTRE DAME!!!!

Welcome and very glad you are here with us. Jan.10,2012 I t-bone a old guy that pulled out in front of me. My car was totalled, but I was not hurt like you and son. No broken bones, just a lot of tears, but that is what led me to LBS. I had to try something to relieve the pain that physical therapy was not helping. Believe it or not ,during surgery they did something with my neck that took away the pain I had been having for 8mths, so I got a two for, LBS and neck repair, lol.

I'm so glad you're joining our LB family. There is so much support and inspiration. Please post often so we get to know you and can cheer you on.

Best wishes on your journey to a healthier you!
