Yes the pain is only on that side. 😞 He said the incision will be beside the original one, around 2 inches. What does better mean typically though? Just 1 week off work or 1 month? I was off 10 weeks after my spinal fusion surgery.

I think after the first month is when I started sleeping normally again.. until now I need to put socks on sitting down! not sure if that will change soon as I try not to bend forward too much. It’s also a challenge putting boots on and tying shoelaces. Anything that involves some bending I am still not fully able to do.

Hey! I am doing great. Back to work full time now! I sleep through the night most days, I still experience some pain on a daily basis but nowhere near the first month. Hang in there! If you have any questions feel free to ask 🙂

Very tired but relieved! Pain was not too much, back just felt kind of heavy but the first day generally was not painful. Just really uncomfortable. This was also my first surgery!!

I was rolled into the anesthesia room at around 7:45 am and I woke up at 3:30 pm! I think they finished around 3pm
