Feeling truly amazing today! And very grateful, obviously I'm having a great day.
Went to gym. 20 min Stairmaster. Pec deck and tris. Gotta safe, modest burn going. Keeping spine straight, no twisting/bending but feeling good!
Was up on my feet almost all day and sitting also. Driving myself around in truck on short jaunts. Amazing.
Only took one Paracetamol this morning. I think the juicing and blood flow is working to speed up recovery.
Even helped find dead deer on property yesterday to cart off.
Only worry now is I don't blow a disc Clavel didn't touch, but time to modify my activity to avoid stupid crap that would do that since I do have other disc issues. Hopefully they calm down.
Incision pain lessening also.
