![]() I read 2 iboprofen and laughed, I haven't been able to take just that for years. Good for you.
I"ve heard about the leg and butt pain, do you think stretching would help, even before surgery? Would you be able to site see between day 5 and now? How long can you walk or stand? My exwife wants to know if I'll be able to take a tour with them post op. Did you stay at the ArabellaPark or Grand? oh and my daughter wants to know are there any TV shows in english? ![]() Keep up the good progress. |

![]() 2 to 3 levels is a big surgery. I was not ready for any bigger outing until about day 9. Now at day 12 I can go for several hours, with breaks all day.
I stayed at Sheraton Grand. Don't know about english shows I only watched german and french ones (I am trilingual, so is Zeegers, more like quad lingual). But at least BBC, CNN and, I think, Comedy channel. Don't know about the pains after surgery, I am sure it varies with everyone. A lady who had surgery the same day (single level) with me seemed to be in much better shape then me at day 4. I was pretty fit going in. Exercised till the day before. Seems the anaestethia meds really got to me, I was seriously dizzy for days. Ibo's, Stopped the Alphakillers at 2 days. I got pretty high pain tolerance, right now the pain tells me when to be careful, slowdown or stop.

![]() Hey Fuzzy,
Thanks for the report/update on your surgery and how you've been doing. I'm really interested in hearing about outcomes w/ the StALIF fusion and glad to hear you seem to be doing so well to date. Please keep the updates if you're so inclined. You do have interested readers here! Loved hearing the glowing report for AlphaKlinik and Dr.Zeegers. He sounds like a great guy and wonderful surgeon~ as well as the facility and staff as well. take good care and well wishes for continued good healing/recovery! thanks, Maria |

![]() Tomorrow I am 3 weeks out from the surgery and I am continuesly improving
My back does not hurt at all when I am not pushing it. It only hurts after a 2 hour hike things start getting pretty darn sore, passing well past the iboprofen level. But breaks help as they take off the pain quickly, I think a lot of that is the muscles. I still have leg pain in left leg that comes and goes, particularly at night, lying "wrong" triggers this pain real strong. The darn bone donorsite is a real pain sometimes. I still have quite a bit of burning in my feet and my right foot is consistenly cold but contrary to before I can now feel the coldness more often then not. Lying down resolves these problems faster then before. Sitting endurance is improving. I would develop pain quick and now it takes a little longer. If there is any pain in my back then its right at the fusion level, it seems. My body is still over coming the shock from surgery but i feel much better now an can't wait to go on some long walks, like the tiger in the cage. Next week I will see Dr Zeegers for a 4 week checkup.
