Life is always changing!!!

So, my husband and I have a very big decision to make. I didn't think this was something that I would have to be dealing with at such a young age, but I am. I have finally gone to a neurosurgeon for the back problems that I have been dealing with over the last few years. It has finally gotten to the point that I dread work every day, because it is so difficult to do physically. So, my back issues started out with a hereditary problem that I have known about for over ten years. Unfortunately it has compounded and gotten a lot worse. I am now to the point that the neurosurgeon has said that he suggests a back fusion. I just worry about doing this at such a young age. It just means that I will still have stuff to deal with as my back ages over the years. I am not very happy about this, but I am hopeful. I can only hope that this surgery will at least help with the day to day pain. I can handle the pain every once in a while, but it's hard when it's all the time. I have actually been a little depressed lately because of it. It gets so hard to even function, that I don't even want to. I know God has led me to this point in my life. He never fails us, I know this! I just keep praying and continue to lean on Him for my support. My husband has been so amazing through this whole situation so far. He is soooo compassionate and loving towards me. It definitely helps me get through the day. More updates later when I know more!!
