Recovery is no fun, even for the spouse. My wife is learning a new way of living.All I could say was ooo, oww, ooo, oww for a couple days.
Just kidding. Didn't have my electronics in the hospital. I felt immediate relief after the surgery. I can stand up straight again, no pain in my legs anymore, did a lot of laps at the hospital. Just have to wear a back brace for 3 months, walk a couple hours a day, and use a bone growth stimulator 2 hours a day. Weaning off the pain meds and trying to make the cat understand I can't carry him around for a while. Hope to be back to work mid-April.
Your back brace may improve your posture. My uncle wore one for 3 months after breaking his back in the late 60's. He was instructed to put it on before he got out of bed in the morning and not to take it off until he was in bed at night.
April can't come soon enough for me either.
