MR

I just wanted to thank those who supported me after my back surgery this summer. I have to say I am still a little sore, but all in all much better than before. I used to be in constant pain before the surgery. I felt so good today that I actually danced a little jig today in the house! LOL I am not going to tell you it was an easy recovery. It was quite painful and I had to have my daughter come and help me for the first two months of recovery. I am still waiting for the doc to tell me the last graph between my bones has grown a new bone, but that will wait to be seen. Right now I walk pain free. I cannot tell you how wonderful that is...PAIN FREE. To live for such a long time unable to do normal things. Thanks again for the kind words, prayers, and thoughts my way. I am glad to be able to do things normal people do again. I actually got a lot of housework done today!

Good News! Glad you are back on the road to living pain free and healthy!

Thanks Marabelle! I am glad I got it done. It is slow healing but it will be good to be able to do things again.

Glad to hear that you're in much less pain now!

Thanks!

I'm so glad you got a positive result!

Hang in there!

My brother had back problems this year. He was given the option between surgery or therapy. He couldn't afford to miss a month of work, plus the surgery success rate was quoted at around 50% or so. Suffice it to say, he chose therapy.

But that said, glad to know you're on the 50% side where you're on the mend.

I am doing a great deal better...when it hurt to sit, stand, lay down, or walk my quality of life was pretty low. I am now being able to do some normal things again...I am glad to have done it this summer. I feel I can give more as a teacher now too. Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement. I have not been on here a lot...some due to healing, some due to my computer being goofy as of late. I miss talking to a lot of you. Many of my friends here are on Facebook and I hear from a lot of you over there. Miss some of the debates on here though. I love watching the banter on the political stuff. Same arguments different day! LOL
