I read your post wrong and am so sorry about that.
Your having back surgery and I posted about neck surgery.

I had back surgery too. Mine was very complex and the best I can say is to think positive thru the whole process. Most important, follow your Drs instructions to the " T". Even if your feeling better at the time or else you could suffer later!

My surgery has left me disabled but it was far more than what your having done.

Hang in there. God Bless you.
