Back surgery


Hello all, following up on this post.

I had the surgery on October second. In the weeks before, I couldn't walk more than four blocks before I had to stop due to the pain. The photo shows I've just logged my 103rd mile since then. I am also off all pain pills even Tylenol. I was able to stop narcotics in less than 10 days after having been on them for over two years. Thank you all who took the time to post encouragement. It really helped.

I hope to be cleared to finish the house renovation I swore to my husband would be finished in a few months (that was two and a half years ago) on the 15th. I'll also lace up the ol' hockey skates and bust a few heads.

This is great news! Congratulations. I'm glad the surgery went well and you can get back to doing the things you enjoy.

Thanks for the update!

Awesome!

My wife had her L4-L5 and L5-S1 fused last year and it's been a life changer. All around success, so yes there are stories like that out there.

We need to get more positive stories out. I can finally read my son more than one bed time story because it doesn't hurt to lie on my back anymore.
