Back surgery this Thursday

[BamaGoose]

All,
Please pray for me. I am having back surgery Thursday morning. I am looking forward to recovery both mentally and physically.

Sometimes the mental recovery can be as tough as the physical - Use the down time wisely. I remember having surgery (not back) several years ago with strict orders to take it easy for two weeks - never I have had the opportunity again to have two weeks to read or be still. Praying for you.

The mental recovery is more from the last five years instead of the pending surgery. I have experienced many things in the last 5 years that I never properly got the time to grieve and recover from. Physically speaking, 15lbs of losing weight would help me with the physical recovery. I will lose that before I go back to work in Jan 2011.

Surgery went great. No more leg pain. Had leg pain for 21 months.

Thanks buddy. The hardest part is not doing to much, to soon. I feel awesome.

Just curious, was it an operation to relieve pressure on a nerve?

Just curious, was it an operation to relieve pressure on a nerve?

Yes. I had a herniated disc in the L4/L5 which was pinching the sciatic nerve. I wished I would have gotten the surgery earlier. I feel so much better.

Link below was what I had done.
Discectomy or microdiscectomy for a herniated disc
