Cam I Am

This past Friday I finally had the back surgery that I have been waiting for, for months.

The discectomy seems to have gone fairly well.  I was back home by Sunday morning, resting fairly comfortably.  For the first time in nearly three years, I have no more pain shooting down my leg!  I have to say that I’m surprised at how well I feel, considering that 72 hours ago, I was having the operation.

For the next few weeks, I’ll be at home resting, and taking it very easy.  No lifting, no sitting, short walks (5-10 minutes), but gradually increasing that every day.

So.. that’s about it.  I go to my doctor next Monday to have the 22 staples removed from my lower back (something that I’m not really looking forward too!). 

Overall, I feel relatively good!  I’m hoping that the recovery time is going to be shorter than what I was originally told..

Time will tell..
