Dr. was able to cage l2-l3,l3-l4 correcting rotatation and leveling. She was in a good deal of pain immediately following surgey(to be expected). Doing better now that we have gotten in front of the pian with meds. She has been up and moving around today, mostly using a walker for longer distances. Went for pictures this afternoon, but have not heard back from the doctor yet. She is doing much better, even since yesterday. She is definitely not looking forward to the follow on surgery next week when they put the real hardware in, but wants it done and over with. As I am posting for my wife, I apologize if I may have mistated anyhting but I am sure she will be able to post in a day or 2.
