I spent 4 or 5 days in hospital then a week or so At my Parents as they have a newer house and it was easier to get around in. Doc said surgery went great but I can’t really tell the difference as I can’t do near the things I could do before surgery.But I’m Home and taking my meds as told to I go see the Doc on the 22 nd of this month so see what he says. I have about a 6 inch scare from my waist up my back they put titanium rods and screws in my back. I keep having a popping noise/feeling in my back and the Doc. says it’s the scare tissue breaking up which is normal but at first it scared me till I called and asked about it. I still have about 4 weeks that I can’t drive anywhere. Well just wanted to let everyone I made it Thur even though I still hurt about the same and cant put my own shoes and socks on due to not being able to lift my legs very far talk to you all later Matt Pierce aka…STONEFLY71

:smiley: good to hear your kicking, take things slow and easy… i had back surgery two years ago,as soon as the doc gave me the ok to start moving around, i grabbed the rod and hit the river. best therapy around the more i fished the better i felt.
worst part was when the doc gave me the ok to return to work. just as they were doing the fall stocking of my favorite river.

get well soon! Don

:smiley: Stonefly71,
Hang in ther Matt. You’ll do fine. Everyone thinks the heart is the center of the universe, until their back goes away on them. I guess sometimes we think the center of the universe is whatever hurts the most. Keep your faith strong.
God Bless,

I hope you’re through the worst of it. Be sure to tell your doctor that you read from a very unreliable source (me) that fly casting was good therapy :twisted: .
