Prayer Request

Wishing you the best and speedy recovery, You'll be in my thoughts
 
Hang in there Pug, believe it or not it's not so bad. The pain that will be relieved is way worse than the pain you'll feel during your recovery. Been there and done that, only difference was I opted for cadaver bones versus rods for the fusion points.

Take it VERY slow...for a year or more, so everything has a chance to knit together. I ditched physical therapy (where they beat the crap out of you for no reason) and just went swimming every day at my local YMCA. Low impact exercise coupled with a little stretching is the key. It's now over 20 year later and I'm still pain free.

You'll be fine....it's dealing with the inactivity that is the toughest part.
 
Get well soon there buddy!

Keeping you in our thoughts, Pug. Hang in there!
 
Update: first part went well. Everything works. Tomorrow is part two, ( rods or pins take your pick ). Surgeon dropped in ( read your input Ironman ) and he came flat out and said it's gonna hurt worse for five day, but he has da magic pills ( I figured he call AVB).

Thank ya all for those good vibes.

Pug, as the guy that's had some major surgery in the last few years I can tell you that your attitude will make all the difference in the world. Bro, do what they say, be honest with them, and it will go a long ways to speeding your recovery. Look at this as only a temporary setback and move past it. You'll do well....I'm pulling for you...!!
 
Excellent news.
Keep staying strong. There's light at the end of the tunnel.
 
BBS speaks the truth. A positive outlook goes a long way.

Take it easy, but definitely do what the docs/therapists encourage you to do, physically. It's too easy to stay in bed once you are there... especially when it feels like everything hurts.
 
Get as well as you can and then sue their asses. It'll do wonders for your positive outlook! ;)
