Recovering post-op

This will be short n messy from the iPhone. Had back surgery yesterday... A fusion of L4 and L5. I had become fed up with the increasing pain on left. I thought physical therapy was helping some and it made me stronger but still was quite limited. I had initially seen a neurologist and a neurosurgeon but eventually ended up choosing an orthopedic spine specialist. People who had used him were pleased and he was the one ranked by US News for Sugar Land. Surgery was 4 hours. I have done well with no nausea in spite of patient controlled morphine. Today they had me up walking some. There is a lot of pain at the incision site but I think the buttock and leg pain is nearly or entirely gone. Yea. Prob home Sat.
