I'll be just fine. All of my spine surgeries have been open and huge so this really isn't much. I'm just on the grouchy side when I am due for a breakthrough. I have my work cut out for me once I have the inplant and I am healed up. My gait and posture are bizzare now from compensation. My muscle tone and the core and legs are shot. I will get it back as I have always been up to a good challenge once the pain is properly controled. Back to sleep now. The BTs are kicking in. Have a great day.
