Yeah, I know, Mark - I just need to know ahead of time a little of what to expect so I can try to plan accordingly. I've already been told the "12 weeks of no bending @ waist, twisting, lifting...etc." As it is with most workin folk I am limited on how much time off I can take so I need to work out that with my employer as well.
Tonight my wife said something about wondering how much time she'll need to take...will I need someone here w/me for that first week or so? Just how much does this put a guy down? I'm quite young for this procedure - I understand most folks are 60's or so and I am about 10 years younger than that...hoping that'll work in my favor.
