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).
