Hey Ken, your surgery is right around the corner! I want you to know that I am praying for you and please let us know how you’re doing. Anything that you share will help others whether it’s prior to surgery or after. And please let us know if you have any questions because Nothing helps others like experience, right?❤️🙏

Tomorrow is a my post-spinal surgery two week anniversary. I was surprised how hard it has been getting into and out of bed so I slept most nights in a recliner. A good friend let me borrow a twin bed whose head and legs lift up which should make things easier. Tonight will be my first trying it and I can pass along how it went as compared to my regular bed and recliner. As I mentioned in some earlier messages, dealing with sciatic pain radiating down across my right butt, hamstring and on down to my calf as been one of my biggest challenges. It has really hampered me with walking to help my recovery. I'm hoping it will lighten up in the next few days so I can "hit the road". Even though I thought I was prepared for it, it has also been a challenge being forced to have my wife do just about everything for me. Hope all are having a great weekend.
