I just got in from yesterday's surgery about 30 minutes ago. Had surgery at
11:00 AM and was released at 11:00 AM today. I'm at my home, didn't have to
stay at mother's or my aunt's place, but I can't drive for a week and have
to wear the neck brace for a week too :~^ (

Upside, 90 percocets! and no real pain to speak of. I already have regained
the strength in my hands, arms and shoulders!! It's amazing what a little
bit of back surgery can do for a fella. I'll likely go back to work after
next week, but I won't do anything...nothing....NADA...zilch!!! It's so
nice to feel whole again--physically that is. The doc said there is no hope
for me mentally or emotionally :~^ (

Excellent. Didn't want to say anything before, but about a year and a
half ago a friend had what was supposed to be a simple spine surgery
and she's well enough to drive now, but just being anything but a
veggie was a chance for a while there.

So glad yours went as planned and predicted.
