Epidural update

I found out today that an epidural may in fact be in the cards after all. My OB didn't seem to think it would be a problem and my back surgeon confirmed that my fusion only went down to the 3rd lumbar, leaving levels 4 & 5 for an epidural. Guess we'll find out once we get to the hospital and the anesthesiologist starts "poking" around. My OB said there is no reason to talk to the anesthesiologist now, since we don't know which one it will be all they all have their own "tricks."
