spinal surgery

Greetings,

I had complicated spinal surgery 5 weeks ago today. They had to release 5 of the branches of the Sciatic nerve, remove a disc and do a fusion of L5-S1.
I am walking! without my walker in the house! and do not need PT. Pain already less than before surgery. I can lie flat; first time since 1988!
I was afraid, but am so glad I did it now.

it is rough for the first few weeks, but stand firm.
