Thanks Sherry, I am now home after 5 days in Mayo. I was also told the leg pain is not uncommon and hopefully something I can quickly work through. I try to remain positive. Maybe I'll ask my wife to take a picture of my 12" incision...after second thought, nah.

You made me pause for a second when you talked about the length of your scar! My physical therapist keeps telling me that my scar goes higher than T 11 but my surgeon did the minimum invasive surgery and honestly, I don’t care about a scar in my back as I’m not a runway model 🤣
That being said, I think I’m going to have my daughter measure my scar tomorrow! Maybe we should all do that and share some info. There are stats and everything else from hospitals but it’s real time life time reality that gives us the best info, if you ask me! I love this group.
❤️Sherry
