surgery took a little over two hours,instead of the 3-1/2 projected.The decompression they did woke a A LOT of nerves controlling my leg and foot that were pinched,waking them up.Add to that all the manipulating my spine causing a lot of anger for my nerves,and there ya have it.They took me off of morphine Saturday evening,strictly pills after that,2 every four hours.around the clock,until my Dr. visit December 3rd.8-12months, maybe more,before complete healing.There is still no guarantee how effective this will be at pain control,but we are hopeful....Thamks for the prayers,God bless all of you.Love,me.
