> Sorry to hear that you have to go through this. I had this same surgery a

> better. My surgery was in June and by September I was able to do fairly
> light work on the boat - like sanding and painting the deck. Not being able
> to lift anything or drive is a frustration as you will feel much better

> My only advice is to make sure you have a really comfortable recliner at

> out of bed on my own and felt trapped when lying on my back largely unable
> to move. In addition I needed to visit the can numerous times in the night
> and being able to get up by myself and without disturbing my wife was a
> great relief for both of us. Get one that gives you good support, reclines
> almost flat and is relatively easy to get out of. I just happened to have

> I expect that you will be back online in short order - like within a week.
