The best bit is the exercise recommended for post surgery

1, walking.......we all do that anyway
2, swimming..... i cant swim
3 CYCLING..... although gently at first

I hope it goes well...going to be sore (to say the least), so take all the pain meds they offer which will also distract from the boredom!

 

[roadrash]

Ah good. When I had my back op, way back in 1993, they injected it all manually...my thighs were like pin cushions what with the morphone and anti nausea injections to counteract the side effects.

I basically didn't wake up for 2 or 3 days after mine, they get you up and about more quickly nowadays, mine was a 'simple' decompression and discectomy. The opiates and lack of activity were not good for erm bodily functions, so I'm sure they'll keep an eye on that too

 

[roadrash]

hmm... been on opiates ( mainly fentanyl ) for 4 years now so im familiar with bodily functions, or should i say lack of.

Hope the Op goes well.

[roadrash]
