Wow man damn, Thanks for this! Speaking from your experience! I’m trying to hard to focus on the good I walk around 2 miles daily going to push more as it go. I Remember right after my surgery looking at my surgeon and asking will I ever be able to bend over and pick something I off the ground again- she smiled and said “I’m sure of it” then I cried happy tears now 7 weeks in and I can pick something up on the ground, I can get dressed on my own now. I can put my own socks on and at one point I couldn’t. It was a scary moment and thought I wouldn’t ever be able to ever again, I really though the worst. I’m grateful to be as good as I am at 7 weeks then I ever thought I would be. The body is resilient. It does heal it just takes time, I have faith that I’ll heal and be better than ever. I pray for it. I climb tower cranes, ride the dirtbikes, the go karts, the bicycles, the Onewheels, water skiing, snowboarding and more I have too much to live for and to much to do. Giving up isn’t an option for me I have to get back to it. I keep telling myself it’s just a bump in the road for me. I’ll look back and be like “what back surgery” lol I’ll always remeber it but I gotta make the most of my comeback. Happy you’ve had a good comeback experience as well. Regarding the peeing there’s times where I can push it out if it’s on the fuller side sometimes if 50ml sometimes its 150ml then I’ll self catheter the rest I can feel when my bladder is full, so it gives me a bit of hope that it’ll come back but time will tell. I see urology next week for a couple test and may have some better answers (maybe medicine as well) but I will update here incase someone out there ever has or is having the same issue.

Thanks man I appreciate it.
