    2 weeks post op

    Hi everyone !
    I'm 2 weeks post op today and doing really well. The first few days were difficult, but I'm doing pretty good now. I have some left foot numbness, but the doc thinks that will go away. Still pretty swollen and my back is itching alot, but they say that means its healing! Thanks again to everyone for the support and positive words before this life changing surgery!

    yay!

    Congratulations on your good outcome! I am hoping you are home by this time? The strange numbness you have probably get much better in the next few weeks. Do you have any X-rays or pictures to share with us? Lisa
