We were not keen to put You through another surgery ...
especially when there was no guarantee that after the operation, the disc would stay in place.
We have heard of friends who had prolapsed disc repositioned correctly through surgery, yet after a while, the disc slipped back out.
Anyway, your doctor said, that You were still young and agile, and it could heal easily on its own in time. He gave You painkillers to take care of that for the time being.
Despite the painkillers, You could still feel the agonizing pinch on your lower spine from time to time. It kills Mom each time she thinks of You having to go through those - those - stupid pains.
We arrived at the Airport at 8:30 pm.
After checking-in, we had dinner at Coffee Bean.
Aunt Diana sent a text message to remind Mom to get some sleeping pills to help You sleep through the flight.
You were in quite a bit of discomfort because of your back, and your aunt felt it would be easier for You if You slept through most of the flight. So Mom went to the Pharmacy to get some sleeping tablets.
God is good. God was / is with us.
He ensured we had a smooth and comfortable flight to Paris.
