Good to hear from you, Craig. Glad you were able to at least reply to a post. One day at a time, and each one will be better for you!

Hey....as LK said, got Bev's email and was glad to hear that all went well. Just keep thinking good thoughts that things will keep progressing and you will be up "pain free" soon.

Go sit by your outside pond...that should be nice and relaxing.

Thanks for all the well wishes everybody. The pain's letting up a little, but dealing with numbness again for some reason. Doc thinks it inflamation.....so we'll see how it is in a couple weeks.

Got my staples out today! So glad as they were making the incision itch really bad.

Trying to take it easy, but it's hard for me to sit in one place for very long. Will be going home in a little while and doing nothing the rest of the day. Got some good movies to watch.

I'll check back in tomorrow when I'm at home and can get on the computer.

Hey guys. We just recently got a laptop for the twins to use for college in a couple weeks. So checking in is a bit easier, now. I just have to wrangle it from them. LOL!

Fly,

I was actually able to take a shower Saturday....so I'm all good. ;D

Thanks Jen....took it a bit easier this afternoon, but not as easy as I wanted. Tomorrow, though, it's going to be a super chill day for me.

Sandy,

I appreciate it! Hoping to check in more, now. It's going on 2:00am.....been hard to get a good night's sleep, lately. Seems I'm seeing 3:00 and 4:00am a bit more these days. So sleeping in 'til 10:00am has been a bit more of the norm. Will take a lot to get myself back to the norm.

Good to hear from you guys!

Craig, think of it this way. You don't have to wrestle the laptop from the girls at 2am. ;D JK....

Get your rest and get well soon.

LOL! Yeah, it's almost 12:30am and I've got it all to myself. ;D

Well....I wish I could say that I'm feeling a lot better, but I can't. I think the pain from the surgery itself is getting better, but I'm feeling more and more pain in my lower back that I've had to get used to over the last four years. The numbness in my right leg is gone, so that's good. I just hurt....and don't feel real encouraged at the moment. Maybe it's still a bit too early. Doctor wants me to start some therapy in another week or two. Perhaps that'll help. I don't know....


I do know that I go back to work this next Monday.

Sorry that you are not feeling so great. Wow, back to work Monday already? That seems really fast. Can you get them to re-evaluate you and see if it can be moved further out?

Thanks guys.

I've worked with a lot more pain. With having a desk job, it's really not all that bad. I probably tend to get myself in trouble more being at home than at work as I end up doing something I probably shouldn't be doing. While at work, at least I know there's nothing I'll do to hurt myself. I don't think it'll be a big deal.
