Had 2 herniated disks repaired, 3 vertabrae 'ground' down a bit to make more room and prevent nerves from getting pinched in the future.
This was the first major surgery that I've ever had, so I didn't really know what to expect going into it. The catheter took some getting use to - and I think I speak for all mankind when I say that the pain involved in taking a cath tube out should never be associated with that part of a man's anatomy - it's just wrong to feel that much pain in your pecker.
Everything turned out pretty well though - I was leaving the hospital and going home 30 hours after they started the procedure. I've got about a 6 inch incision at my lower back - complete with staples.
I can't lift anything for than 10 lbs for a while and I'm not sure how long it will be before I get cleared to lift enough to brew again, but hopefully a 2+ months of not being able to brew will be offset by being able to play with my kids and go on walks with my wife without being in pain all the time.
Now I've got 2+ weeks off of work and can't move around very much. Let the post whoring begin!
