Spinal Fusion Our Story Part 3

Day 1 post surgery. This is a little video from surgery that was done on January 24th, 2011. Recovery from surgery will take about 3 weeks at a minimum. There is a lot of healing that needs to be done. The days have been long and hard. We hope to start rehabilitation after our first doctors visit in 3 weeks. Stay tuned for Part 4 to see the first 5 days of the recovery process in the hospital.

Thanks for watching. Sometimes it's hard to keep calm when you are in pain. Cesar does a great job of being patient with me. This is very important during recovery for all you caretakers. Keep watching and you'll see me cave in to the pain soon enough. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I've watched all of your videos thus far and I am amazed at how calm and soft-spoken you both are when you have this pain, frustration and worry.

I wish you all the luck in the world.
