Update On Hubby's Back surgery

[Lisa Frederick]

Everything went well the Doctor found some bone spurs and removed them. Doctor was surprised to find them says it's not common in someone Jeremy's age (he is 32).  He is recovering well. was supposed to be out of work for 6 weeks but his work disability only allowed him 4 weeks but is allowing him part time for the other 2 weeks. So he has come home sore and tired for the last week and isn't ready to start back full time next week! But all in all he is doing great and no longer has pain in his leg! Thank you for all the rays and prayers!

I was wondering how he was doing - glad he is doing well !!!!

We'll send some rays that he gets some extra rest and some quality recovery time over the holiday weekend and is able to function next week at work since he has to go back. 

Glad the surgery went well and the leg pain is gone!

It's great to hear that your hubby's surgery went well and he is even able to go back to work, even if only part time. Even though he is young it will take some time to recover fully.
Last March 18 my son-in-law, Keith had spinal surgery to repair damage done by a spinal disease which was worsened by an on the job injury. He was in surgery for 12 hours. The surgeon fused his spine from the base of his neck to just above his tail bone and then encased the spine in metal rods on three sides! It's been almost a year and he is slowly coming back, though still has a lot of pain. But he is so much healthier looking than he was this time last year and b/c he is young (31) and was in good shape before all this started the Dr feels he will come back fully. But it will take up to two full years to get there. We are just so grateful that he is doing better.
Here is a picture of Keith and his daughter, Faith (4) that was taken on Christmas day.
