Time flew by and here it is....at 1:30 tomorrow Dr Rasouli will be performing L5-S1 installation on me.....

I'm hoping all of you don't get the opinion that I'm taking this lightly. Compared to the pain of a "bout" that keeps me on the floor for a week or 2 at a time, I've had it!....NO pain can compare to that.

I'll be in recovery at Cedars Sinai for 3 days and was wondering what those 3 days might feel like, how upright or mobile I'll be...(or not)..

I've seen videos of post surgery patients after 6 days and know what to expect.

I'm 52, toned, trim athlete, 6' 175lbs. does physical condition have a great deal to do with those first few days?

Brian, by the way
