Thanks for all your prayers. My surgery went well. I am feeling good, but I am still sore from time to time. I still get pretty tired, but I am feeling a lot better. Although, surgery was pushed back until late into the evening on 10/29/09, I was able to get it done, and head home around 11:30pm. My doctor was great! Yeah, Dr. L! He had a full day too. He was late due to having to deliver a baby, do an emergency c-section, and then complete another surgery before mine. Anyhow, I am happy to report that I can touch my toes without pain, and I have been feeling different since the surgery. Hopefully, that is good news. My post-op appointment was good and Dr. L says that I should wait to try any other approaches for a few months. We will see what happens. We're hopeful that the surgery helped. We'll keep you posted. :)
