I got home yesterday evening from the hospital. Surgeon says that I was pretty bad. The procedure went well, and I can get up and walk with no problems, but I have a post-operative issue. Seems that even though the surgery went as planned, The root nerve became aggravated and swollen. The end result is the worst sciatica that I have ever had, in both legs. Hopefully, as the swelling goes down, it will subside. Surgeon said it may take up to 5 days for that to happen, so as badly as I hate it, I have been taking some pain medication. It was the only way I could get any sleep. As far as the rest of it, it's been great.
