So Far My Back Surgery Is A Success!
Today my back is even better. I can now walk without my cane. Climbing stairs is less of a problem. But for the next six weeks they want me not to lift anything heavy and to rest when I feel tired.
Here is the link to a video from the hospital explaining the procedure in great detail.
Spine - Lumbar – Minimally Invasive Discectomy (Percutaneous Disc Removal)
After my wife did research to find the best hospital and doctor we drove six hours from Virginia to New York City for my treatment. It was worth the trip.

Thank you Marty.
DeleteRemember not to pick up anything heavy, sometimes that might be a hard thing to remember.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking that I remembered seeing your hospital on an advert at a METS game, and it made me a say a prayer for you. I am sure that is the main reason that you are doing so well. So, YOU"RE WELCOME!! HA!! Take care of yourself!
I'll try to remember not to twist or pick up anything heavy.
DeleteThanks for your prayer.
John, it sounds to me as if they have given you very good advice. I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better....and walking better!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda.
DeleteMy brother had back problems and needed medical help as well. I'm glad your surgery went well, I know how terrible back problems can be for a lot of folks.
ReplyDeleteThank you Adam. I hope my back keeps going well. I have a followup appointment on the 28th.
