    I should say it wasn't a bad experience with the surgeon, and he didn't come across as arrogant... just all happened so fast, and he just acted like it's just another day at the office, which in a weird way was reassuring.

    My wife said that now I know how my customers feel when "something goes wrong" during construction of there building, I deal with construction problems on a daily bases, so it's no big deal to me. My customers, hopefully, only have one or two construction problems in there life time. Kinda put things in perspective for me.

    Glad it went well for you.
    So did they remove some bonespurs? or fix the herniation?
    Sounds like the decisions progressed rapidly - I guess the loss of leg mobility prompted some quick action.

    Rest up, glad you're feeling some relief:yes:

    I am very happy this is working out for you. Your anxiety level must be down a few notches.

    Just fixed the herniation, my surgeon wasn't to concerned about the spurs. Me left leg mobility was pretty bad and going down hill quick, been walking with a cane for the past week.

    But I am amazed how much better I feel and how much easier it is to walk... even with the surgery pains and aches!

    Still doing good today, no leg or nerve pain at all... surgery pain is another story, really sore at the incision tonight, 6 staples feel like there pulling every which way.:jaw:

    Been up and walking a lot today, like I was told to.
