Herniated disc, after

Im grateful this is over.

 

 

alan said mine was the size of a peanut mnm candy. they did a lamenectomy,

pulled the nerves aside that lead to my left arm, did the discectomy, and

glued the incision together. my neck is very swollen and brused badly. I

have little deep cuts on my head where the brace was that held me still

during the surgery. it went very well.

I was lucky enough to get Dr Thibedeau out of Mercy Hospital in Portland. it

was the most organized and postive experience ive ever had at any hospital

for any proceedure.

 

it will take some time to recover, and for things to resume. im bedridden

for a few days, then i am to start things slowly. im still on narcotic pain

meds, muscle relaxers, steriods, antinausea stuff, advill, and a new round

of steriods part two.

i find myself watching a LOT of tv. i had no idea adult swim was as funny as it is.
