Prayers............
Prayers for a swift recovery
Prayers for the hands of the surgeon to be governed by the Great Healer.
Prayers with you
Prayers for you and the docs, brother! May your stay in the hospital be as brief as possible and may all your nurses be pretty ones!
Done
God Bless. Praying that all goes well.
You didn't specify lower back or neck, but the treatments have come a long way since I had several disks removed and fused with cadaver bone in 2007 in my neck, it has never been 100% but 90 is good enough for me, prayers you do as well or better and just follow the recovery instructions and do the therapy. Hang in there it will be all good!

Made it through hurts like heck. They replaced the dics in my neck. Not sure how long in hospital. Thanks so much guys
Glad you made it through that part, Mike. Hopefully the recovery goes along without a hitch and any physical therapy you have to do is not too painful.
I'm sure the recovery will be a long haul. Just remember to take it slow and don't damage the repair! Lumbar discetomy took me about 1.5 months to mostly recover, almost a year to fully recover. I'm sure yours was WAY more invasive, so BE PATIENT and be careful. Update us when you recover some. I AM VERY INTERESTED IN YOU PAIN RELIEF AFTERWARDS.
Hope you have a successful rehabilitation. Prayers sent!
Good to here it went well, they will have you out of there very soon.
Lord guide the Doctors hands and heal

Glad to hear you are on the mend keep it up!
Michael is a heck of a good guy. I won one of his auctions before he had his surgery. I told him not to worry about it, just get healed he said it would ship Thursday and I got it today. I’m sure he has some help, but he fulfilled his promise even during his procedure. He is a credit to the gunbroker community.
It hurts?.....more drugs. 😉
Get well soon.
I am alive. Pain going down arms is mostly gone. Neck is right up there about 8. But have to wear the collar until I see doctor in 2, weeks. Not sure how many disk they replaced. But daughter got to talk to doctor about surgery and he mentioned 3 or 4. Thanks for the prayers guys
Glad to hear you are doing well, make sure to not push it too hard.
They actually REPLACED the discs? If so, that is some incredible surgical work. I'm glad you are doing well.
I was going to comment on "dics (sp) in my neck" but I decided not to..............oh wait, I just did...........lol🤣
Yes according to doctors i was a perfect candidate for full replacement. I am not sure how many they replaced. Was told number 3 to 7 could be replaced. That two of the disks were almost gone. Everything was one big lump of calcium. Doctor stated no human could put up with the pain I should have been in. Told him anyone who grew up working everyday physical labor. Deals with pain. My spelling and grammar makes spell check cry
Thanks everyone for the prayers an well wishes. I am doing great. Neck is sore, movement is stiff but way better than before. Doc said I can drive but not lifting over 10 pounds.
So oiff to gun show for the weekend., Girls an partner will do all the work. I get to be boss. lololo,
Thanks again Mike
So glad to hear you are doing well.
Good news take it easy and heal completely!
