Had my back surgery (L4-5 micro discectomy) yesterday morning. What fun - not!

Surprisingly I'm not in nearly as much pain as I thought I might be. I'm actually in less pain now than I was back in June when this most recent episode started. Back really doesn't hurt except when I go to change positions - mostly trying to get out of bed or up out of a chair. My neck/throat actually hurts worse from the breathing tube they shoved down it during the surgery.

Anyway, just wanted everyone to know my time on the site is going to be very limited for the next few weeks as I can't sit at the computer very long. If you have any troubles or need assistance with the site PM Thomae or Charleslv who are the other two admin and can access your full account to fix passwords and such.
