Feeling awful this morning really painful , morphine pump getting some hammer this morning. Right leg is rather weak with constant pins and needles all the way down but strangely not in my foot I had exped that to go efter the pressure on the nerve was released but doc says nerve is severely damaged and will take a while to repair itself .
It looks like gods waiting room with the other 5 elderly patients, if snoring was an Olympic sport then every one of them would be a gold medalist .

It was a bit like that when I had my leg repaired, the ward was full of hip replacement patients (some of them not so patient) for both operations with only a few of us under 60.

They just took my morphine pump away buggers,didn't sleep until about 4:30 and got woke up at six, doc been wants to try get me on my feet for a standing xray. Today or. If to painful or leg too weak then try again tomorrow.

You have my sympathies. When I had my op 20 years ago, they didn't get me up for 5 days IIRC! I was pretty much sedated for 2 or 3 days

I was 20 up in Harrogate (with my Southern accent), I was beautifully mothered by all the older ladies having their hips and knees done. The Consultant who operated is actually a very old friend of my parents so the patients were amused by that too

Been there, done that, both lumbar and cervical ends. It will get better, but you'll probably not feel like running a marathon for a couple of months.

It does take time though - and not just a couple of weeks.

Well Done @roadrash ! Can't be much wrong with you - you're still posting on CC ...

Any surgery is an internal mechanical invasion of your body, so how much more the major kind you have just had ?

You will recover, things will get better and you'll have some stories to tell and some scars to back them up (pun intentional ).
We're all watching, reading and sympathising with great interest - and very glad it is you and not us ...
