Surgery Complete

[semper_fi_72]

Had my back surgery on Monday.

L4_L5 area

It took 2 and 1/2 hours.

Physical Therapy got me up and walking, with a walker Tuesday Morning.

Exceeded Physical Therapy requirements for discharge on Wednesday morning.

Discharged from Hospital at Noon on Wednesday with a Walker.

 

When I woke up after surgery, there was just wasn't mush more pain then when I went in, but I sure feel like I have been beaten up in my lower back.

 

So now I walk, using a walker and keep working with my exercises.

 

Follow up with doctor on March 3rd.

 

The hospital bed sucked and made my hips and butt sore.

 

Recovering at home in my nice powered recliner.

Using it to sit and sleep in right now as it is easier to get out of.

 

Hoping to be on the field working by March 21st.

 

Thanks for all the advise and support on the previous post.

I hope everyone else can have a injury free season.

More than likely I will have to go through the same procedure. Thanks for the update.

God might help, but I won't bet against an old Marine. Lou, you will get it done.
