WOW! I am SO happy for you and for Coop! I bet he'll sleep like he hasn't slept in ages!

I hope they serve him prime rib!

Merry Christmas, Maggie and Coop! And Maggie, I hope your health is good too.

Merry Christmas, Maggie and Coop

Best present ever - I'm so happy things worked out so well.

**3Catcondo** · 12-23-2010, 06:03 PM

That is great news!!!!! What a trooper he is, I can't believe he's not in pain. What a blessing to have the surgery go so smooth and no more pain.

Merry Christmas

Amy

What a Christmas gift to be pain free!! I am so pleased to hear how well everything went. I hope you are feeling good too Maggie, Merry Christmas!

**krazyaboutkatz** · 12-23-2010, 07:02 PM

This is excellent news!!!

I'm so glad that everything went well and hopefully he'll now continue to remain pain free for the rest of his life.

Yippee!

Hugs all around: to Coop, to you and of course to Pinot Noir, lol!!!

Absolutely FABULOUS! What a wonderful report to read!

A most Merry Christmas to you, Maggie and Coop (and of course Pinot, who is rejoicing with you, I am sure).

Thank you all so much for your prayers and good thoughts. Your love and caring is so much appreciated - more than you'll ever know!!

I hope the nurses give him something for sleep and then stay out of his room all night long so he can REST! (when I worked on the floors I reluctantly awakened many sleeping patients on the third shift) Fingers tightly crossed for a very good night's rest

Fantastic News. Glad to hear he is doing so well.

**wombat2u2004** · 12-24-2010, 05:02 AM

Ah that's terrific. Now some well earned rest, he's done well.

What happy news to start Christmas Eve Day with.

**Taz_Zoee** · 12-24-2010, 12:59 PM

I am so happy to hear this WILL be a very Merry Christmas for him.

And I'm sure for you too, just knowing he is not in pain any longer.

Coop is home for Christmas Eve and I couldn't be happier. While he is not completely pain free he is MOSTLY pain free and moving around really well. I thank you all for your love and concern, and would like to relate a story from his stay in the hospital you might appreciate.

The PT nurse came in to get Coop up and walking. He told her there was soreness and some residual pain. She said (keeping in mind my husband is a good bit over six feet and not a small man) "Have you ever been stuck on a long flight in the middle seat with no way to move? That's where your discs have been for the last couple of years. It's going to take a while to stretch out." I loved the analogy!

Off to cook my hubby's family's traditional Christmas Eve shrimp dinner for just us!

Happy Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas everyone!

I am BLOWN away!!! Absolutely just blown away!! This is just so amazing that all I can say "THANK YOU & PRAISE GOD!".

**momcat** · 12-24-2010, 04:15 PM

Oh Maggie, This is wonderful news!!!! A sigh of relief and a prayer of thanks from here in Trenton. The best part is Coop is home for Christmas minus the pain! Our best wishes to you, Coop, and Pinot for a very Merry Christmas!
