I thank you very much for your support and all the prayers!!! I'm very much in pain today so I think it's the best to have it done quickly - but of course I first have to make an appointment with a neurosurgeon and hear what he says.

It's encouraging to hear about people who had it done and who are feeling so much better after. Being without pain would be nice... and something definitely has to happen because this way I'm not able to make a living for myself and the girls. No way!!

Luna seems to do better at the moment, and I hope I'll be able to find out what kind of bacteria is bothering her before I go to hospital. Actually I don't want to give her to an animal clinic or something like that while I'm away... It would confuse her and depress her to be taken away from home, and being seperated from both me and Lily! Same goes for Lily! I'm sure she can deal very well with the fact that I'm away - as long as she has Luna around! Lily is very focussed on Luna, she's definitely the most important person in her life! I hope I'll have the time to care for Luna's bladder problem!

@Barbara: The orthopaedist I saw on Saturday mentioned something like micro surgery and lasering, so I hope it's possible to do it that way - I'm aware that the disc looks very bad and it scares me a lot! I'm feeling like there's a time bomb waiting to explode inside of me. I really don't want to wait much longer now, after I've seen it!
