I'm a guy who herniated my L5/S1 disc in Feb. 2010 at the age of 30. I've tried tons of physical therapy, epidural steroid injections, countless medications, multiple MRIs, a micro-discectomy surgery, and finally a lumbar disc replacement surgery using a SpinalKinetics M6-L artificial disc. This blog is to share my experiences with others in hopes that my journey can be of value to those in a similar situation and to keep my friends and family updated.

Tests done and sent
I had my MRSA screening and urine tests done yesterday, and everything looked fine. These were required by the pre-assessment nurse, Julie, in the UK before leaving. Luckily, my provider has an online portal where I can get my test results immediately once they were in. I was able to export them and email them back over to the UK today, so it was a pretty fast turnaround. Otherwise, I would have had to gone back up to pick up the test results and then find someone with a scanner or a fax machine to get them sent. Nice to have something be simpler than I expected. I haven't heard from the financial person they said would be contacting me so I sent an email asking about that and Jo, said she would go give that person a nudge. I'm leaving a week from Friday and just don't want any surprises at this point that could jeopardize the trip. This is something I find myself worrying about and it will be nice when it is all put in motion.
