Back surgery tomorrow!

Should have done mine 10 years earlier. Had fantastic results. Stay with the physical therapy and really apply yourself. It seemed to shorten my recovery compared to others I talked to. Good luck.
It's scary! I feel good, yes I hurt but nothing like I thought I would, walking with a walker and only have to use it for 2 weeks. I will be careful because I only want to do this one time! Looking forward to a more productive life even at 67 years old, I am blessed.

The hard part now is patience. Not knowing what you had done exactly take it easy and in stride. But also do not be immobile . Walk a little and do any physical therapy exercises that were given to you....FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, many people stop after a certain time has elapsed. If it helped fresh out of surgery it will help forever, just my 2¢.
 
Today is the 3rd day and you know what they say about the 3rd day!! I am a little more sore than yesterday but hey! today is just starting. Really feeling pretty darn good, have to go back to the doctor on the 30th so we shall see. Can't wait to get back to the basement to work on "stuff", I have brass to prep and things to do!!
 
Just do yourself a favor bring a timer with you to the reloading room, set it for 1 (one) hour and when it goes off leave the room for the day.
I didn't and always paid for it later on.

Yes, I agree. 1 hour passes pretty darn quick!!
