Sleep'd on a firmer bed last night... Slept all night, didn't wake up for extra pain meds. First good nights sleep in 2 weeks... My little girl liked our mattress so I se a swap happening.
Back to work Tuesday... But plan on taking it easy at work for a month or so,
Been in the gym doing cardio, sitting in hot box, stretching, and some light isolated weight machine work.
Feeling great so far.
Had the same surgery as you when I was 23. I'm 47 now and have done quite well. I have the occasional stiff back but not really limiting. Your young and that's a big thing. It should help you recover quicker especially if your in good shape. I think that's a big part of recovery. Learn how to lift safely do your therapy and what the doctor said and you should be fine. Hope all goes well.
