Has anyone heard from Molalla1?

He said he was having back surgery a few weeks ago, and he hasn't posted since.

I've been wondering how he's doing as well.

Mo is a great guy, I sure hope he made out OK. I believe his surgery was on the 11th?

I received a PM back from Molalla1. Perhaps he'll check in with us in the near future. :thumbsup:

Well, had the surgery done on the 11th. It was a 5 hour surgery with 2 doctors, one cut me open from the front and the other cut me open from the back . They say everything went well but it's going to be a while healing (2-3 months minimum) . . . had 3 lower disc replaced/fused. Seeing how my bedroom is upstairs I got a hospital bed in my dinning/front room (it's one large joining room) so I don't have to crawl up stairs and I have a large tv in the front room that I can see well. Insurance paid for the hospital bed. I am moving around some and am getting better each day but it's a very slow process, they say I should gain back about 1 1/2 to 2". Thanks all for the good thoughts.

Glad to hear the surgery went well for you.

Do not push it.

Tough scenario, but I'm glad you're going to be OK. My friends who have had similar surgery pretty much agree that "it's a slow process".

Glad your doing well. Hope it keeps going that direction.
