Kathy,
You are going to have a great recovery, I can tell already. I had the glue also and it did a really great job with the incision. My tummy also went away after a few weeks.
Question. I thought that steroids were not good for bone growth so i would think that an epidural when they do surgery would not be indicated? Maybe this is something new but I had three back surgeries and no steroids with them. Anyone, let me know if I am wrong.
Good wishes.
Phylly
