Mike went in for his EMG today. He really liked the neurologist who took a long time discussing his symptoms and how everything has progressed since the onset. He then underwent the nerve test and the preliminary results are that it is NOT a chronic condition (meaning the nerve is damaged) but an acute one (meaning that it's the herniated disc causing the discomfort to the nerve). So Mike is THRILLED to hear this news! That means that the microdiscectomy is a viable option for him. We're hoping he can see his orthopedist sooner than the 17th since the results of the EMG will be given to him tomorrow. So basically....it's been good news today! Mike's spirits are considerably lifted!
**UPDATE** He's able to get in to see his orthopedist this coming Tuesday! YEAH! That means things are moving more quickly that we'd originally thought. The sooner we can get relief for Mike the better! I think he'll feel like the Million Dollar Man!
