Really?
Wow that made me feel a whole lot better. I was so worried it was going to be a huge deal because its my spine.

How long did it take you to recover?
how long was the surgery?
Was your back really sore afterwards?
Can you do basic house chores after the surgery?

I have 3 people that can do heavy lifting when I move, so I'm not overly worried, but I still like doing my own work & not pawning it off on other people.

I think I'll go tonight for sure.. well after I feed/water my pets.. their cleaning can wait an extra day or 2.
