Default Back surgery

Hi all I'm as of yesterday I'm two weeks out of surgery, doing pretty well, they cut me in front with about a 10 inch incision,then flipped me and made 2 incisions one on each side of my spine.i have big expectations like actually being able to use my boat again. I'll be home between 3 and 4 months which is going to drive me nuts but that's what I have to do!! Anyway hope you all are doing well.

Cool

That's great new John. Glad the surgery went well. Like Spareparts said, don't rush it. There's plenty of pain free time when it's properly healed, and an equal amount of painful time if you rush it and screw up something before it's totally healed. I have it on good word that the fish have been around for thousands of years and will continue for quite some time into the future. They will wait for you. Glad you're on the road to recovery.

Thanks guys, I am determined not to blow this, as hard as it is for guys like us to sit around and watch the grass grow I know I have no choice, David it's very clear in my mind how yours didn't go so well do to your going back so soon! As I've mentioned before I have 3 daughters and the furthest one is 11 blocks away and 2 of them are teachers so they are home for the summer, and it's quite clear that they have a secret schedule where they are spending a lot more time with dad this year until wifey gets home from work, so in short I'm under a close watch!! Paul i am so looking forward to getting back on my boat it's all I think about but I know I'm just going to miss the fall run and that's all there is to it !!
