Good morning...Hubby had his back surgery yesterday..He had a nerve around the spine that was pinched in two places....so any extend walking(more than 5 min) was out....Had it fixed(we hope) yesterday....I like how the doctor put it.....the surgery had no surprises....so that is good!!! He is in the hospital until Thursday(wish it were Friday) and then home....he sure has to move better than he did yesterday...Was exhauseted last night...spent 13 hours in the hospital....my back was/is so sore from sitting so long...Slept great last night!


Today want to do a few things around the house....tidy up a bit....and make a few more phone calls before I go to the hospital probably around noon...


Hugs

Back surgery is not much fun, but if it does the trick then I

Wow, there's not much worse than chronic back pain. Hope this licks it for him. Will make a world of difference.


Have a nice morning!

Hi Rj


I am so glad the surgery is over for you Dh. Healing will take a few weeks but at least the pain should be so much less now and once he is healed up he should be good to go again.


Please give him a gentle hug for me and tell him I am thinking about him and hoping for a speedy recovery.


Love ya
