DAY 18 - When I got to the hospital, I was given pain medication, then immediately taken for an MRI. My husband and I nervously waited for the results. It only took a few minutes, but it felt like a lifetime. When the doctor returned, he had a grim look on his face. I knew it was going to be bad, but I couldn't believe what came next.
Amy, I'm afraid I have some bad news, he said. I started sweating. My heart was pounding so hard on my chest I thought I was having a panic attack. I've looked over your MRI, and I have to tell you, it's serious. You have what's called a bulging disk.
