Back at work

Well my vacation is over. Taking a vacation to have surgery is not a very fun way to spend the time, but so far it seems worth it. The pain in my legs is almost all gone and the pain in my back seems only to be surgery related and not the pain of a bad back. I got my stitches out on Monday and got a further explanation as to how the procedure went. The doctor said that the original bulge that was shown on my MRI back in April had grown. They used the laser to cut away a channel so that there was room for the buldge to retract away from the nerve. They dye tested the disk above it where the small tear was shown on the MRI and found that the disk had gone from tear to a rupture. The dye was leaking and swirling around, so they used the probes to seal things up.

I am having the hardest time with sitting. After a while the pain around where they cut into me gets more and more intense as the day goes on. I just need to heal the wounds from surgery and I will be pretty much healed up. Then I can get back to having a life. I am glad that I only have to work the rest of the day so I can have more time to heal without sitting. It looks positive that I had a successful surgery, only time will tell.

When I close my eyes and see,
All the beauty deep inside,
Of that old familiar face,
That struggles to be free.
Each moment that I waste,
Trying to decide,
Changes possibilities,
For things I have never tried.
Reach out and take the hand,
Of the soul within your grasp,
Walk along in harmony,
Discover wisdom and smile wide.
Love and awareness,
Has become my fine new key,
Connecting them in my ecstasy,
Researching within my dreams.
Soaring for the skies,
Grounding pretty deep,
Growing close to my mother now,
Without her I never would be.
Feel the weight and the solid step,
From the bond of a new found friend,
Listening to the movement,
We share a place again.
See the paths of our creation,
Hear the growth of the trees,
Open your heart to all the love,
Will it, so will it be.
