Going under the knife...

Yup great news! Rest up and take it easy.

No...you need to rag on those idiots that let a IV stand fall on your head. Dumbasses.

I'm glad you have a good prognoses from the docs, and your positive attitude is paramount as well. :)

Great to hear things went well and you're so positive about everything. Recovery & rehab are always a b!tch, but I know you've got the fortitude to show your back who's boss.

Now, don't go letting your fam take the jello off of your food tray, that's the best part of the meal.

The sad part is that I'm looking forward to Jell-O...and popsicles. Just sips of water and ice chips until the guts are working. Just had an internal medicine doc stop by after midnight (they tell you to get some sleep and then pull this stuff). The surgical notes state that I lost a liter of blood during the surgery. That's some fun trivia.

Its amazing they can do surgeries like this, we live in a wonderful time.
Rest up and hope you get some jell-o soon.

Had an interesting start to the production. I work my way from the gurney to the table in the OR, and the next thing I know, I'm stopping a falling IV stand with my face. The thing was huge with too much equipment attached to one side. Clobbered me just under the left eye and rang my bell a bit. A big mouse started swelling up right away, and I'm thinking my insurance must be really crappy if they're trying to knock me out the old fashioned way. I'm also hoping I don't have to pay extra for that.

Surgeons were really happy how well everything went. I also got a spine straightening upgrade while ortho was in there. I can tell this recovery will be a little more challenging, but I've got this.

Thanks for prayer and positive thoughts.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

They should be paying you for that additional pain and suffering. Christ, no wonder more people die receiving medical care than are killed by all those evil guns.

Infectious disease doc stopped by this morning. One of the old cages taken out Mon. came back positive for staph. More prolonged antibiotics. [Swim]

I did get some orange Jell-O this morning. It was wonderful.

I'm hoping to break out of this place on Fri.

Didn't I tell you about the jello? Mmmmm.

Not good hearing about the staph, but almost expected. Keep healing, get stronger and get back to enjoying life (hopefully without back pain).

Just wanted to let you guys know that I did manage to escape and make it back home yesterday.
