Good News From the Surgeon

My surgery was 7 weeks ago today. (That was Ash Wednesday!) I gave up work for part of Lent and church for part. But all is well that ends well.

I saw the surgeon on Monday (day after Easter- appropriate!) He was pleased with how things went. He reminded me that this is an easy surgery and has a good outcome record. When I mentioned the pain that I still get across the lower back where the surgery was he said it wasn't to fix that- just that numbness and tingling that led to sitting down so as not to fall down. (Small things like that can make one look clumsy.)

He was not as pleased as I was with the fact that I had walked home from work last Monday since3 it is about 3/4 mile. Be smart and take it easy, was his message.

But he did say that I can go back to exercising and doing Pilates. Which is great news with the weather beginning to really look like spring and the bicycle calling to me for a ride. I will wait- take it easy- and get ready for a great summer ahead.

In short, all is well. Thanks for all your prayers and support.
