My second opinion first

Today I go to the doctor, well a nurse prac in a nuerosurgeon's office for my second opinion. No I have not had a first opinion, but I will be seeing the nuerosurgeon that I have researched and selected in May. So I may have some news. I know they will ask me to do some things I am not willing to do. I am not willing to STOP living. I am a mom I cannot just stop doing everything, really I can't think of anything I can give up. That is just the way it is.
