Well I'm 1 week post op and feeling really great! Pain here and there but I can walk! I can walk! Life is good after over a month of pain getting worse and worse and 3 epidural injections. PT acupuncture u name it! However, I'm feeling great! I'm still off work for 7 weeks doctors orders as I drive Nd lift things for a living. Anyway. Doc said if all goes well I'll be surfing in 3 months and it should be as if I never had surgery! That's the positive way I'm thinking. Thanks for the support. Stay warm!
