Great to hear from you Diane
Mark and Diane, you sound a little "cautiously optimistic" like things are almost going toooo well ! Your description of how well Diane is doing is an exact duplicate of my experience. I actually can't remember any pain and they only gave me something like tramadol after I came off the pump. I had gone over mentally prepared for a few days of recovery pain, but it never came. I contribute that to Dr. B and the great care given there in Bogen hospital.
I only share this so you can rest in the fact that someone else has been there too. So relax and enjoy the recovery walks around Straubing. Thanks for keeping us updated. Mark (Tennessee)

Hi Diane and Mark as well as the rest of the iSpine community.
Diane, I'm very happy your surgery went well and I'm wishing you all the best to a speedy recovery. Don't let your coach experiment with you. Mark's been hinting about bungee jumping as a work-up for the two of you to be the first tandem ADR husband/wife parachute team. As for the Brat and Kraut, you know the dangers of going there. Get well soon and keep us informed when the opportunity is available.

Great to hear from you Diane. I had the same experience with with you on the discogram pain. As soon as I felt the pain it was over. (I had 10mg diazepam prior).
Walking half the platz is a big deal!!! Good for you. Cheryl

Diane,
I am so glad things are still progressing well. Thank you for posting about the discogram. I too am absolutely terrified at the thought of (maybe) having one done and your experience is very reassuring, should this ever be necessary. What a beautiful town to be recovering in. It looks wonderful from the photos that have been posted. If you do some more trips out, I'd love to see more of you recovering with the lovely scenery as a backdrop. Keep on smiling  Hucky
