Wish me luck, boys
Headed for El Paso tomorrow and will stay in a motel in order to report for back surgery at 6 a.m. Monday. This will be my fourth rodeo and my fourth lumbar fusion, this one L5-S1. L-5 is sliding forward and pinching my spinal cord right where it splits in two and travels down the legs. My legs have been going so numb I can't feel them and I have to sit down or fall down. Needless to say, this has cut into my hiking. Good thoughts would be highly appreciated.

Prayers up. When the recovery process gets painful and discouraging, just keep thinking of the hikes you will be able to take once you get your strength back. That will be very motivating.

Re: Wish me luck, boys
Thanks fellers. Means a lot on the eve of another surgery. My guy is Dr. George Martin, who uses the Mazor Robotics system to help make the most precise cuts and locate the spots for the pedicle screws and rods. He's going in through my back, thank gosh, as the alternative approach for L5-S1 is through the abdomen.
The robotics system is pretty amazing. Be fun to watch -- maybe.

Prayers up. Been through 2 surgeries but no fusions yet. Third time is not far off, and probably my first fusion. Back pain impacts the whole body... heck, your whole being. I hope it is successful for you.

Re: Wish me luck, boys
I was amazed at how quickly they got my mother-in-law to exercising after she had surgery for a broken leg, and then a few months later for a knee replacement and then the other knee. Each time it seemed that they barely let her get out of sedation before putting her to work. She was up and at 'em in no time at all it seemed. And she's still very faithful in her exercises to keep flexible and mobile. I assume it's the same for the back as well, or other such surgeries. We've come a long way from being immobile for weeks at a time while our muscles atrophied followed by long, slow PT to recoup.
