Hi everyone it's been a long time first may I wish you all a very Happy New Year...
I had my operation on my lower back in November everything went well the first 2-3 weeks were the worst with the pain I had to increase my meds and lie flat on a recliner in the day slowly week by week I am improving I saw my specialist on Thursday he was actually surprised to see I was not walking with my sticks or my walker and told me I was a very determined person which I am most of the time but this did test me at times ... he sent me for an Xray which is looking good with the healing I am still not able to bend or lift heavy things for another 6 months my balance has improved so much that I can walk without fear of falling over I had a short break from Just Art and now I am back again I can sit longer now at the computer without any discomfort I am going to do some challenges again on here and slowly get back into it again Thank you all for bearing with me and for all your kind messages.xx

So very glad to hear that you are feeling well! I have always found back surgery to be scary because it is so unpredictable but it sounds like it was an amazing success.

Thank you so much it was very scary and also a hard choice to make but after 53 years of pain my options were slim as I would end up in a wheelchair even though it could be the same with the operation if it did not succeed I was lucky I had a good surgeon who managed the operation with success.
