Default Almost back

Literally almost have my back back to normal or maybe even a little better! Had my lower three disc repaired all three had herniation, all three divisions between had fairly severe damage caused stenosis, had a series of events from 1977 to of late where all I managed to do is make it worse! Doc at Boone Hospital Columbia MO opened me up 8/31 and cleaned out the worst of it and unbelievably I have required no pain meds since. Had a couple rounds with muscle spasms in the dissection area but have that under control. This is the first time in over 35 years my legs have not ached, my knees quit aching(both up and down steps), I had diagnosed tendonitis in my left ankle that also directly after surgery has completely gone away.

I can now walk over two miles in comfort, don't feel like I am dragging a dead limb with my right leg, don't feel a need to distend my stomach forward to limit back pressure, absolutely wonderful and can hardly wait the next couple of weeks before I can get release for on the saddle by the Doc.
