Gary's surgery

I had posterior lumbar spinal fusion surgery on Wednesday November 28. I spent 2 nights in the hospital on some heavy duty pain medication and came home on Friday November 30. My recovery is going incredibly well. All of my prior leg and feet problems have been elemenated. I am still experiencing lower back pain that should go away in the next few weeks. The Doctor has told me I can drive when I feel comfortable to do so. I am limited to lifting 16 lbs - this means no lifting Deanna :-( or the trash :-)



The total length of recovery should be 6 weeks. The Pain medication that I was sent home on is nasty. It helps with the pain but it really messes with the mind :-)



Sorry no pictures available for this event :-)
