One down, one to go!
I’ve spent the last couple of days at the hospital.
My wife had a fairly major surgery on Tuesday. The next day, she was up and walking (she’s quite the trooper!). They finally disconnected her from all the tubes and hoses and let her come home last night. All is well, though she’s a little sore (well, “little” may be an understatement).
As for me… I met my new neurosurgeon on Tuesday as well. This man rocks! He took multiple x-rays of me in various positions, looked over my MRI’s and CAT Scans, and came to a conclusion: we need to operate and we should do it soon. So, I’m scheduled to go under the knife on May 10th.
He’s going to do it as non-invasivly as possible, coming in from the left side rather than cutting stomach or back muscles (yay!). This will make the healing process a lot quicker. I may actually get to ride my motorcycle/drive my car this year!
w00t! w00t!
This is a hella improvement from my pervious neurosurgeon’s “fast track” plan of september… and I seriously doubt that it would of happend then (he has this way of pulling the rug out from under your feet).
Get well soon… hope to ride with you sometime this summer.
My thoughts and prayers are with you… knees in the breeze!
