To besmith57,
Thank you for the comments.
Was the recovery painful, and is it a long recovery process?
Also, did you have a lot of out of pocket expense?

Sorry, to tell you, but the recovery was long and painful, but worth it in the end. If pain pills work for you that will help. They don't have any affect on me. I don't remember much or any out of pocket expense. The surgery and hospital stay was over $192,000. I was hospitalized longer because the surgeon nicked my spinal cord causing it to leak. Good luck to you!
