Everyone is right, take it easy. I was actually pretty good about tht part. My biggest fear was that the surgery wasnt going to 'work". But i know there were a couple of times even 2-3 months post that i thought i could try more and quickly realized my limitations. Sleeping was the worst. I sleep normally curled into a tight ball on my side. My Dr. told me i had to sleep with my body as straight as possible and NOT on my back. At 3 months he told me i didnt have to do that anymore. I began to sleep through the night at that point. The most important thing i can tell you was how surprised i was at 6 months Dr. gurr showed me my xray and there was still a bit of grey area where the disc was not adhered to the bone. And at that point i felt pretty good but then new i had to still be careful. So take it easy! I just kept telling myself that after all i went through i was not going to screw this up! keep positive use texas-T s suggestions. Good luck.
