Tomorrow I am 3 weeks out from the surgery and I am continuesly improving

My back does not hurt at all when I am not pushing it. It only hurts after a 2 hour hike things start getting pretty darn sore, passing well past the iboprofen level. But breaks help as they take off the pain quickly, I think a lot of that is the muscles. I still have leg pain in left leg that comes and goes, particularly at night, lying "wrong" triggers this pain real strong. The darn bone donorsite is a real pain sometimes. I still have quite a bit of burning in my feet and my right foot is consistenly cold but contrary to before I can now feel the coldness more often then not. Lying down resolves these problems faster then before. Sitting endurance is improving. I would develop pain quick and now it takes a little longer. If there is any pain in my back then its right at the fusion level, it seems.

My body is still over coming the shock from surgery but i feel much better now an can't wait to go on some long walks, like the tiger in the cage.
Next week I will see Dr Zeegers for a 4 week checkup.
