Had Surgery 12 days ago. So far most of my old symptoms are gone. With the extensiveness of my surgery im not sure what is normal pain and what is not. Right now Dr Delamarter wants me medicated to allow all the new hardware to set in. I go for my follow up appointment on Friday. I guess the hardest thing is trying to find a comfortable spot to sleep. Dr wants me wearing a brace 24/7. I was able to get out of bed 3 days out of surgery and start walking. Now that im home my wife and I try to walk up and down the block 2 to 3 times a day. I guess its a matter of time now. Just wanted to keep everyone updated.
