Day 24
Phily, I'm glad to hear you're doing so well. I'm doing pretty well too. Walking 25 minutes 2x/day...probably 2ish miles total but maybe less. This is more of a mosey than a walk. I do have pain...

Day 6
I'm in a lot less pain but the leg numbness continues with a vengeance. I'm finding that if a split a Vicodin in half and take it at 2 or 3 hour intervals, it works much better for me. I can...
