It took 12 hours and 24 minutes for my back surgery.
But that's from the time I signed in at the Surgery Center yesterday morning until I
climbed in the passenger seat of my truck to come home yesterday evening. In fact, I could have come home a couple of hours sooner but the surgeon waited until 4:00 to call to let me go. Then the nurse had to process me out.
I was up walking the halls an hour and a half after returning to my room. Then a few more times before i left for home.
I'm not even taking pain meds, and I plan to go out to dinner with the neighbors tonight. i may even start my treadmill walks later today. Definitely tomorrow.
Another successful back repair. The only thing left is a visit to the surgeon
in two weeks, and doing the walking therapy, and a few 'non-of-this-and-thats' for
about four weeks. I think that's pretty darn amazing.
Oh, and I think it may have fixed the problem.
