That is a good thing and all the better for her recovery. Was it the lumbar 2/3?
I'm not entirely sure - she has a couple of calcified discs in what would be her lower back if she was human... but the slipped disc is a little further up from what the specialist was describing, not as far as her shoulders, but around the middle, middle to lower.
thank you all for your

&

... it's really appreciated and it's heartening to read through people's similar experiences.
Will update later on how the surgery went
