Get better soon. It's not fun to be sick and in pain.

Pain sucks. I experience lower back and SI joint pain myself. Get well quick. I'll be monitoring this thread to see how you are when you re-appear.
Does the noise in your head bother me ?

Surgery went well, but still have some tingling in my fingers (which I'm hoping is just residual and will be gone in a day or two). I truly appreciate all the well wishes. Assuming the doc is happy about everything, I should be sent home tomorrow for light duty for awhile.

Assuming the doc is happy about everything, I should be sent home tomorrow for light duty for awhile. I've had nerve compressions that led to numbness/tingling a couple of times, and for me it has always taken a while for the feeling to return after surgery/therapy. Fortunately, it DOES return

Just wanted to give an update that I am home, still have some tingling in my fingers, but much better than before surgery and so probably just have to give the nerves time to heal. The drugs to ease the pain make me sleepy and I doze a lot, but I do get outside and walk 30-45 minutes (per doctor's direction) each day.
I expect it will be another week and a half or two weeks before I go back to work.
Again, thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. This is a great forum of caring people.

John, that is great news. Thanx for letting us know.
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!
