Spinal fusion complete! I'm back home, a little weaker post surgery, steroids and morphine, but getting around fine. Mom and dad Stout came down and kept us company (thx!). Apparently there was more compression than anticipated, which now that it's repaired translates into a better long term prognosis. Kudos to Dr Bernstein the finest neurosurgeon for miles and miles, and my friend Dr Larry Eldenberg, gas passer extraordinaire)! Larry tells me that he's so tired of my premed drug inspired jokes, that he put me down faster than ever. Which is great because I usually try to tell jokes and end up telling where I hid the treasure ;-)
Shoulder surgery and physical therapy in about 8 weeks.
"Whew!"
Thx for the cards, calls and prayers!
