Actually got home yesterday about 1pm. So far I can't tell if I have a headache or not, it'll probably take at least a few days before I will be able to tell. But ont thing is for sure, this surgery is sooooooooo much less pain than my first surgery it's not even funny! It's great, I mean relatively I'm not naseous or anything, and the pain is definetly bearable, even with no pain meds in me(as I woke up this morning). Obviously I will be taking them though, it's alot easier with them than without them. But the surgery went great, no problems or anything. They just removed the herniated disc and bolted a metal plate in there and everything. The funny thing is most of the pain is actually because they had to kind of jack the bones back up to the height they would have been with a normal disc, because the disc was compressed so much that the bones were too close together. So it basically stretched all the muscles in my neck from them jacking it back into place, which basically feels like someone punched me really hard on the back of my neck. The incision itself doesn't really even hurt that much, kinda itches more than anything

But I just wanted to say thanks for the prayers and thoughts and everything, you guys are great. I won't be on the board much til probably next week when it's a little easier to sit here in front of the computer.

So again, thanks for your support guys! I just wanted to let you know I'm doing pretty good, and I'm looking forward to getting back on the board more often!

 

Hope everything works out for you and you start feeling better-good luck

 

Right on Mike! Glad to hear everything worked out for ya. Take your time getting better, don't rush recovery. I hope this cures all that crap you've had to endure.

 

Glad to hear that.

 

Good to hear. I hope everything keeps going in the right direction for ya.

 

Hope it all works out for the best.

Fantastic! That neck pain seems like a good reason for a masseuse!

 

I dont know who you are, but I hope your feeling better!!

 

So how much taller are you? We need to hang out again as soon as you're back on your feet

 

Hey Brett, yeah, I haven't seen you in forever. I can actually do stuff as long as it's not too streneious. But I can't drive, so if anyone wants to do anything with me they'll have to pick me up

 

Does this mean no lil' 500?
