Was just thinking about you and your surgery. Sounds like it is going really well for you.
How much improvement have you had in your left leg?
Sorry not sure where palpable hits the pain chart at 🙂
Keep up the good work.

I feel my recovery is going very well.
My left leg is pain-free (slight tingling from time-to-time) and now responds to neural signals. That's a big difference already.
The "palpable" scale is somewhat ethereal.... I have ever-reducing surgery-site specific pains (front and back), but they pale into insignificance next to my pre-suregery pain and discomfort.
I'm taking a call with one of the Neuro Spine Institute's ops nurses today because I seem to breathing/voice issues post surgery. Sounds like i'm wheezing, and am losing my voice, but I feel fine (no cold/flu etc).
