January 4, 201511 yr How are you doing, Joe? I assume that you are home by now. Are you feeling OK and able to get around at home? Wishing you a speedy recovery.
January 4, 201511 yr Crying still from last week. I join him crying today. MQ and meatloaf only happy ones left.
January 5, 201511 yr Thanks for asking...yes I am home..taking drugs ...all in all, not entirely happy with the Doc or hospital, but the procedure is done and hopefully in the near future oxycodone won't be a part of my daily routine. ;) I am sore but from the surgery.. I am pretty confident that the laminectomy did what it is supposed to do. The nerve/ leg pain is pretty much gone already..

I hope that the pain eases up on you soon...
January 5, 201511 yr Author I'm so glad that you are home and that your nerve/leg pain is almost gone already-- that is a very encouraging sign! Be patient and give yourself plenty of time to heal. And read some Nonsmoking Cats and Dogs posts! :)
January 5, 201511 yr What's a lopadicoffme? In terms that steeler fans understand. ;) .. A laminectomy is where the surgeon removes the "protective" bones that cover the spinal column.. This takes the pressure off the nerves and allows him a bit more room to "clean up" the discs and any bone spurs I may have had...the back muscle is sown back over it to help protect it...I will be off work for 4-to-6 weeks and start (water) therapy in 2 weeks
January 5, 201511 yr That is interesting Ok but now sound mine out. horrible, just horrible... LMFAO!!!
