To advise the brotherhood, and all those who sent me well wishes, the surgery went very well. I was up and around that night, and spent 3 days in the hospital. I couldn't stand another night of the screaming and crying, so I asked (begged) the doc to let me go home. They sent me down to PT to show me the proper way to get into and out of bed, and climb steps... Apparently they showed me the wrong way to get out, as indicated by the pulled groin muscle. I then endured the 1.5 hour ride home in the wife's Liberty. I know every dip, pothole, bump and curve intametly... Got myself one of those fancy lift chairs so as to be able to get myself upright and prone without too much pain.
The recovery is going well, and the disc pain is gone. Only pain is from the incisions and a bit of tightness where they put in the screws and rod. (Now I have two...
) I'm finally able to type a bit, so I thought I'd advise on my condition. Thanks all here for your support and help. It is much appreciated. GROG
