A Mute Point/Surgery Discoveries

Well, I was going to blog about all the new and great things our family has been up to but I read my previous post and it's a mute point since nothings really changed. Only thing new is that indeed I did get my surgery!!! Things went well and I was complemented on my quick recovery from anesthesia...Of course 40 mgs of Morphine sure helps...When the procedure was complete Dr. Welling came to report to Ryan how things went and he informed Ryan that the nerve roots where extremely enflamed, something he has claimed to see very rarely. He made a comment that I must have been in an absolute amount of pain....and ya know, I still am...It's different but just as debilitating. I know it's just a matter of time for it to fade but with the swollen nerves repair rate being so slow, I'll have to deal their mending for up to 6-12 months....Not so fun but I know it will have been worth it down the road...I can begin physical therapy 3 months post op and that I'm really looking forward to....
