Back Surgery

Thanks. I'm now kicking back watching the hobbit an unexpected journey extended edition. Sweating a bit. It's
not all that easy. I'm a big guy 6' 3" 285lb so this is a lot to move around.

No such thing as short work days for a teacher. They always work after hours grading and preparing lesson plans. I know I live with a teacher.

Haha. They've got me on Norco and valium. I need o2 to sleep because of the valium.

Interesting choice, I was given Oxycodone and muscle relaxers. I still have most of them, not a fan myself since they don't like to stay inside me.

I'm already looking to cut back they're making me feel sick all day

Going outside for some fresh air. Bleh

Yup. I've avoided this monster before.

Just got my shower. Special thanks to my amazing wife, carrying stuff, picking up towels and dropped soap ( not that way), etc. I just couldn't do this without her.

My dog just woke me up at 10:15am. Aparently he needed to go piss. LOL I was sleeping so well. I'm up and moving now and I'm feeling pretty good. Able to sit down at my PC for a bit.

Still debating internally if I should give up my dirt biking and just stick with 4x4s for a while.

5 months later - Physical Therapy is done!

Mike, my surgeon gave me clearance for 4x4, I'm guessing yours will be telling you what to avoid. Mine says no more horseback rides, bungee jumping, sky diving or gymnastics.

That's good news Aaron. Hope you can get good results w/o having to do more work.

Perhaps the tough nut is that you'll either want to push things or you won't realize that you're pushing it - changing your perspective as to how much is too much.
