Thumbs up my recovery

Yes, Mark is right, i watched him and another Prodisc patient play tennis @ 6mos, and my thought was i would never catch up. Well i did, it took me a very long time to recover, from both the surgery and the effects of the surgery. I was out of work for 2 years, as i didn't feel good enough emotionally or physically to go back. But i am a fighter, and stubborn as all heck, and live my life by the saying "don't ever give up". Heck i had major back pain for almost 30yrs. Now i am back pain free, can do as i please all within limits of course, as everyone has limits. I sit for 4-6 hours a day at a desk, when i do get up, i do feel a lil stiff, but stretching cures this. i drive an old volvo with a stick shift as my daily driver, i golf ( poorly) but golf, and now bowl, wow what a life!!
so my thoughts are with all of you going through the pains before surgery and after, but hang with it and listen to your body, when it says rest, for godness sake REST, when it says go, well you know what to do!
As far as me, i will always remember my roots, of the back pain saga!
