Re: Update on back surgery AMAZING
Quote from former post.
"Should be up and around in a couple of days and "over it" in about 4 weeks. I certainly hope it corrects my legs giving away without warning. I am tired of bouncing off walls and floors.
After the surgery, which I was well aware of as it progressed, although sedated somewhat, I asked the Doc if I had any physical limitations for a while, He said NO.
Wife drove me home. About the time I got home I got a call from the local dealership that I occasionally shuffle cars to other dealers for, asking me if I wanted to take a trip up to Marietta for a Dealer Transfer. Feeling great, and over my anesthesia, I said yes. Trip was uneventful. Back surgery in the morning and "back to work" in the afternoon. I got a call from the regular gal I drive for and she wanted me to take a trip back to Marietta, because the dealer had given me an incorrect second set of keys. I said, Yeah, I'll go. Up and back with no problems. That was this morning.
The doctor gave me a prescription for pain pills, but I have yet to take one, and have not needed them. He prescribed a knee support for a while just to brace the left knee, which was the one that always seemed to buckle first. I am wearing that. No shuffling around. No heavy feeling in my legs. I carry my cane just in case, but do not use it as support. No pain, no buckling. Truly a Miracle.
Only problem is that for the past 5 years or so, all of the various doctors thatI have seen said there wasn't anything they saw that they could fix. I guess that is why they call it "practicing" medicine.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. They sure help.
