went ice skating this eve
hi there, i have to tell you all this has been an incredible ride so far!
a lil over 7 yrs post op for 2 lumbar prodiscs.we have a local saltwater pool that becomes an ice skating rink from Thanksgiving to Christmas, it's located in redondo beach right at King Harbor and on the pacific ocean. and tonight the wind was blowing they said gusts were at 35mph, and cold,along with my nephews and a neice i put on my rented ice skates and on the ice we went, i was on the ice for about 20mins before i took a fall, and a good one, but i got up and brushed myself off, made sure i was intact, one of the young staff members skated over with my glasses-hahaha, my ego slightly bruised i continued to skate about 40mins in all. Wow, i can do this, i sometimes have to pinch myself to see if it's real, no pain, no meds, hardly any limitations, this is sooooo cooool! I had plenty of doubts i'd ever be doing 1/2 the things i've done with these new discs & i'd sign up for it again in a heartbeat, i owe my success to the skilled hands of my surgeon, a lil luck, and a lot of help from above!

And a very merry Christmas to all -your posts reads like 'and he lived happily ever after'.
I'm only 4 years out, have quite a bit of limitation but I still got my life back. Thanksgiving dinner was just a dream 5 years ago... I hope your good fortune continues until 'ever after'. Happy holidays - Dale
