Got home about an hour or so ago and loaded up a bowl of Rotary Navy Cut in my Rad Davis Apple. My neurosurgeon said the operation was a success as he was able to cut out a lot of bone to widen my spinal canal which has sever stenosis in it. He was also able to fix the one bulging disc and to repair the tear in another. He said I will be back on the tennis courts in 12-15 weeks which will be a blessing. I am definitely in some serious pain but the Oxycodone and Soma is managing it ok. I was lucky in that the pump they had at the base of the incision to drain the blood worked real well so I did not have to come home with that pump and deal with that. It was amazing at how much blood was draining from that thing and how often the nurses had to empty it, but by 9 am it had slowed enough they were able to get rid of it. I am so glad to be home instead of the hospital, much more comfortable, they gave me the choice of staying a couple of days there but I like my bed, cable, lap top, pipes,tobacco, food, sons and daughters waiting on me way better.
