You have been on my mind for 3 days, and this is the first time I've been able to ask how you are doing from your lumbar surgery. I see that some things are physically better, which is wonderful. However you are still having lots of pain. I'm so sorry about the pain, and again encourage you to take the amounts of medication prescribed by your surgeon. You will need to go through withdrawal anyway in the future, so you may as well be as comfortable as possible now. I'm sure you will do well after everything is healed because you have such a great attitude! I'm wishing you well and holding you in my thoughts as pain free.
