That's Correct!!!!!
Officially released from the Hospital last night. I got home around midnight last night after the doc's were satisfied that my back was stable and ready to head home to relax and wait for surgery next week.
As some of you may have known, I have had an ongoing back problem that was giving me hell for about 6 months. Everytime I went into see the Doc when the pain got bad..I would start a slow reovery process that would make it about two months and then it would relapse and be worse than the time before. It finally came to a head about week ago today. Feeling great on thursday morning, got up, got dressed, ate breakfast, packed up for work and headed out the door to the truck. I made it about 15 ft and then all hell broke loose. Severe pain ensued...and I made it back to the house...and the pain kept increasing....so much so that I could not stand, started blackin out from the pain, and managed to slump over the coffee table and do what I could to hang on until I could successfullly dial the numbers to call my wife back to the house....where we called the Ambulance and Paramedics to get my azz to the ER. Took forever to get admitted but once that was complete and a goood dose of Happy Meds....finally got the pain under control and the process started....
Took them two days to get me in for an MRI to identify the problem, Fitted for a brace, found the right combination of meds, correct angle to lie down
at etc . I guess someone forgot to let the docs know to just work in some Salsa and CHips into the mix.....LOL
Diagnosis is a buldged disc....scheduled for surgery next Friday.....they will go in and do some modding for me....remove damaged area..repac with some phenolic spacer and put in place some nice titanium rods...surgery should take 2-4 hours depending on damage....and then should be back home 24hrs later on the road to recovery. Until then NO MODDING< NO WORK, no nothing!!!My mom and Step Dad are in town and helping out around the house!
