Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 4161479, member: 6911"] I'm sure there will be over the coming months. Since it's been explained as a disc injury, and since they've now said recovery will be four months, I'm guessing that she had spinal fusion surgery. If you have what I had- a discectomy, which is simply shaving away the bulging part of the disc that is impacting the spinal cord and causing inflammation and pain - recovery is fairly fast. For me the pain disappeared immediately. But I'm guessing that they took out her disc, then fused the two vertebrae together. That's a different ball game. Wishing her a full recovery, and that her career resumes with the excellence she displayed before. [/QUOTE]
