4 days post op and feeling good!

[mjbwv]

After nine years of severe pain, seven doctors’ opinions, six back surgeries, and too many prescriptions to count I am proud to say, I am a two level Pro-Spine lumbar survivor at a ripe old age of 35!

It has been a long road traveled and I know there may be bumps in the road to recovery ahead, but now I can travel that road without a cane and even stop and bend over to pick a flower for my wife.

I am four days out of surgery and I can honestly say I am feeling great! The incision pain and some hip fatigue that I am feeling will pass with time. Hands down, the stabbing knife in both my hips and the radiating nerve pain down my legs and the fear of never being "normal" again is gone. Thank the Lord, without Him this would not have been possible.

Following shortly will be my story. Please check back soon.
