Thank you.
Between opioids, Tylenol and steroid 6 day pack I am doing better than expected and feeling blessed. Spinal surgery Thursday, Friday was ok, Saturday very painfull(rebound) I am told. Today pretty good, opioids , Tylenol and started 6 day
Steroid pack.
The way to go for sure.

Thank you all for you kind words and blessings.
Had spinal surgery last Thursday .
4 days later feel pretty good walked a mile in the heat no problem.
Those of you that are considering spinal surgery; go to a neurosurgeon not an othopod. Why , b/c 7 othopods required full lamenectomy and 2 level fusion =
6-12 months recovery.
At 78 the neurosurgeon did a hemilamenotomy . Minimally invasive 4-6 weeks recovery. What he did for me is a week full recovery, stopped pain killers yesterday, 3rd day. This is a procedure worth fighting for. Am on Tylenol and a 6 day steroid pack started yesterday .
Will ski in colorado with my daughter this winter ; can’t wait to start training.
Very excited about my new life, unable to ski the last 3 seasons b/c back leg and butt pain.
God bless you all.
