Actually had the MRI yesterday, and made sure they were giving me the contrast dye too (which, after the gave me a shot of it, made me want to puke although that never happened the other times I've had it). And the neurosurgeon requires an updated MRI before making the appointment, which is good since he is an hour and a half drive away from me.

Last time I went to see him for a possible (which became definite) surgery, they forgot the contrast dye and I made a wasted trip because he couldn't tell for sure what was going on because of the scar tissue from the first surgery.

I'm just hoping that they won't have to fuse my back yet, but I'm afraid sooner or later that that is going to happen.
