lol clint the only "tool" I had stashed in that robe is one I can't mention ;)

surgery went without a hitch!  I'm back at home and as you can see feeling pretty good.  Of course the pain killer's they gave me havn't fully worn off either.

I sneezed earlier though, and it didn't put me in excruciating pain so that is a good sign!  I almost cried about it... I am amazed at how much better my leg feels now without that nerve being pinched.

Doc didn't see me after surgery but saw my parents... (well... He could have seen me but I have no recollection of anything past them putting the breathing mask on me! funny story about that I'll tell in a minute)...
I can't lift anything heavy or do anything strenuous or do any bending for a while, as I might tear the stitches.  The wound is still a little sore and that's about the worst the pain is right now!

I'm told that they operated on me after they put me in the "tornado drill" position... on my knees face down crumpled up and supported by my forehead.... I can only imagine the view that cute nurse got....  :o

so... as they pumped my IV full of pain killers I felt myself going dizzy and made the comment that I thought it was working.  the nurse said "good, we hope that we give you enough since you've gotten used to the pain killers for your back..."  I responded as they put the face mask over me and I said "I hope so too, I have dealt with migraines AND now back pain so I've built.... up... a........ zzzzzz....."  and the next thing I remember is being in a different room waking up slightly, being disoriented and dizzy... then I fell back asleep... then I woke back up in my pre-op room with my parents! lol...

all in all the surgery only took 2 hours.  BUT... whoever was doing surgery before me in the room I had reserved for my operation took alot longer and I was in the waiting pre-op room untill almost 1:00pm... I was supposed to have gone in at 10:30!!  Needless to say the worst part of all of this was not being able to eat all morning! lol.

well guys... I'll keep you updated.  I just pulled my silicone molds I did last night and poured some resin in em!  I'm going to take a nap and when I wake up I'm gonna check em out.

sounds like everything worked out ok, Devin.  The time in the waiting room doesnt surprise me at all.

I hope you take some pics of your new parts when you get up.........

so far so good doc.

Right now I feel like someone punched me as hard as they could in the back.  The incision is realy realy sore.  makes it about as dificult to move around as I was having before!

BUT

my leg is 100% better.  I don't have the tingling and numbness or pain that I was having.  I'm so thankful!
