                You will be fine!

                Good Luck Kari!
                You will be fine.
                Had my surgery 3 weeks ago and have been home a week.

                Don't be scared. Stay positive strong and visualise your lovely new, straight, strong back that you deserve.

                You will be mainly just very uncomfortable, but just keep pumping the morphine, there is no need to be in pain.
                Take one day at a time and have your loved ones come visit you and just sit with you and hold your hand is the best.

                Write again when you are home.
                Take care.
