My maternal grandma is having back surgery tomorrow. She has diabetes, and her legs got bad as a result...or so she thought. A few months ago, the doctors did an x-ray of her and say that she had some spinal curvature that pinched a nerve that would otherwise allow her to walk normally. The surgery is tomorrow morning and they're going to straighten her spine (like how they do with scoliosis patients) so it is off the pinched nerve. She'll be out of the hospital after 3 days and will walk again, but will need some physical therapy for the months after the surgery. I don't ask this very much, but please pray for her. I'm hoping and thinking that she'll be fine, but two years ago we had a death in the family because of anesthesia, so I'm worried.
