and the pain is slowly getting better after they upped the dose of the neurontin. He is up and moving around some and planning a trip into town this afternoon.
No I don't believe the fusion was from his hip they were able to do everything from the posterior side. and no other incisions other then the looonnngg one on his lower back which covers the one he had 28 years ago!
he is doing well enough that he isn't calling the doctor today b/c today was the 'deadline' he gave the doctor if the pain wasn't getting better.
Thanks for asking and I'll keep ya'll posted!
