Kathy, I think this is a very important subject. I'm glad that you were able to get some good suggestions, and more importantly that you and hubby were able to enjoy each other without risking injury to your back.
Of course anyone should be able to ask their doctor about this subject. But it sounds like it is a self generating answer...when you feel ready, and find a position where you are comfortable, you should be fine. It doesn't sound like there is any real risk of damaging the discs...unless you are doing it wrong  .
