Great that you're good to go! I'll be that you'll be glad to have that hospital bed when you get home. I'm 24 days out from an ALIF and I still find myself trying to minimize trips up and down.

Good luck!

CL- I know you are so ready to have this surgery done and get back to living. Sounds like you have a very good surgeon, that really cares about people and listens to you. I can't imagine not being able to do the stairs for 6 weeks, I swear that is why I stay fit (I don't need a stairmaster, because I live in the stairmaster!) I'll be praying for you, Kathy

CindyLou:

You are in Elizabeth's and my thoughts and prayers. I wish you nothing but the best and a successful outcome. Let's hope this is the; "Magic Bullet" and your quality of life grows in leaps and bounds to make up for the "He double L" you've gone through for the last several years since the accident.

I am eager to hear of the outcome and see you on the other side.

Terry Newton

Cindy Lou,

You'll be in my prayers for a tremendous outcome to your surgery. I hope Mark gives you comfort by being there. It sounds like many people will be there in spirit.

Good luck,

Bob

Mark,

PM me for some ideas on harmless practical jokes you can pull on CL while she's sedated.........
