Yes it is. I had a little "minor" surgery a year ago last January (fusion of L3,L4 and L5) It took about 6 months to really get back in the groove and I still feel like someone bolted a block to the middle of my lower back with some of those self threading drywall screws (the 3 1/2" kind). However, I can now walk without much pain. Dr Stephen Waggoner (Mphs Orthopaedic Group) walks on water, and breathes under it.

Today my husband Steve had a hip replacement surgery. If I named all the operations my husband has had just since I've known him I'm not sure you guys would even believe me. Sometimes I don't believe it myself. He's been deteriorating to the point that he could barely walk or stand because the pain was too much to bear. The prosthetic hip joint is supposed to give him back a nearly normal range of motion with much less pain than he's been having. It requires a 6 week period with a walker. He is doing quite well today. The operation was done under local anesthetic because his many physical issues put him at too high a risk for general anesthesia. I can see that he's lost blood just by looking at his coloring, but he seems to be OK regardless. He's supposed to be up walking tomorrow -- a few steps. Just in time to move in to the new house, I hope. Assuming that winds up OK... We have some large overruns and had to go back to the bank for more funds. I still haven't heard whether that's been approved. Gotta admit life is always interesting.
