Hospital Stay, day two aka "Morphine is my friend"

[anysia]

After a morphine induced good night of sleep, I woke up well rested for a change. I have to say, that if it wasn't for the serious back surgery thing, this hospital would be a great vacation place.

Pain has vanished, or more like has been replaced with a numbness in the leg. Rather like if you sit wrong and the leg goes 'dead'. Have been told this is symptom of the disc pushing on the nerve root. It's an annoying feeling, however it is much more preferable to wave after wave of searing pain. _meegan_, Daggles and their boys came by for a visit last night. Liam was much wowed by the MRI films. I compared them with the original CAT scans, and I take it so did the Neurosurgeon, cuz neither he or I can understand how the physical therapist could have missed that traction was the last thing that should have been done to me

Here's hoping someone has a little "corrective" chat with that physio. That just sounds criminal!

I'm glad you've got some relief, and here's hoping for a succesful outcome of your surgery.
