Getting ready to go under the knife
 

Well the time is near Thursday at 8:00 my neurosurgeon will fix my back. I have hurt for many years now and I am to the point I can not take the pain any longer. OSO has help me through my information hunt and I thank you for that. Hopefully I have done my homework. This Spinal fusion is some scary stuff but I have no choice now.Otto thank you for your input I am sorry I did not get into greater detail but I did discuss what you told me with my doctor. If you guys don't mind say a little prayer for me on Thursday.

Thanks

David Ledford

Keith & Sandi

Wishing you the best vwith the surgery, vagrant and hopefully for a pain free future!

Dave,
I know of two people who had it done. Both are happy with it:)

Good luck,
Cal

Dont sweat it Dave, youll be on your feet quicker than you think and feeling better than you have in years. Careful with the meds and if you need to, now is the time to drop some weight then get in shape when your recovered. Staying healthy when youve got a bad spine is imperative!
Good luck,
Chris

You will wake up and the pain will be gone, the incision will be painful but the leg pain will be gone. I had this done and still snowmobile, dirt bike, boat, lift weights you name it. For some reason I go down once a year for about 3 weeks. It is usually from over doing it but it goes away and is more of an irritant and a good reminder to take it easy. Just do the exercises and everything they tell you to do. Good luck and you will feel better.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Good luck and speedy recovery!

Best wishes ....for a speedy recovery ...My wife had it done ...big time.... 4 yrs ago...Only regret is that she didnt do it sooner.....!

Good Luck.

Good Luck,

I have to go in on Christmas Eve morning and have my shoulder scoped...torn rotator cuff. Merry Christmas...lmao.

Good luck with the surgery again.

Todd

good luck,and a get well soon from us to you!

No fun going under the knife, good luck and speed recovery :)

Be Blessed. Otto

It's 8:00 AM and if all is going as planned you're hopefully about to find new-found freedom from the pain.

Best of luck form your OSO family... we are thinking of you.:)

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

Good Luck , Dave !!!!!!!!

I also know two people who had this procedure done and they could not be happier. As far as your rehab goes, this will sound silly I know, do as much as you can but don't over do it. The "burning" from the incision will be the worst aspect of it, should only last two maybe three days. Best of luck for a speedy and full recovery.

David, The next 48 hours will be the worst (anticipation). We are all thinking about you and if you or Sonya need anything at all call. I am sure the sponge baths will be very relaxing:D We have a spot reserved for you on the back seat of the 350 for the Chill Out so get well soon! Good Luck

Hope everything works out for you. Take care and see you guys soon.

Good Luck Dave :cool:

Good luck! You will be in my thoughts!

It's been two years and 14 days since my lumbar surgery.
I had spinal stenosis which causes pressure on the spinal cord irritating the nerves and causing pain, weakness and numbness in both legs. It had gotten to the point where I couldn't stand or walk. The only position that didn't hurt was lying down.
In one three hour procedure the doc fixed everything. Haven't had trouble since.

May your procedure go as well.
Good luck.

good luck and a speedy recovery!!!

DAVID
