Hearniated Disc-He's In Pain

Bud has been diagnosed with a herniated disk in his lower back. Right now they gave him steroids and we have to go back to the surgeon in a week. Do you have surgery or do you wait it out or do you go to the chiropractor? You certainly don't want permanent damage. In all the years we have been married he has never been sick so this is really strange to us. We wanted to leave soon for Florida but do we do it here or wait and do it down in Florida. That is a much better place to recover but are the doctors as good. What to do?
We also have a big project ahead of us and he can't do it with a sore back. Luckily we will have help but he wanted the money so we can buy a new golf cart. I read this somewhere and the quote goes. "Do you know what God does when you make plans? He laughs." That is the story of our lives, everyday it is something new.

That's a tough boat to be in. I hope Uncle Bud feels better soon (whether here or in Florida).

P.S. My word verification says nakey! lol
