Hi WOC,
Yep, the remedies were a hit.
Bunky was a bit better today, and I'm hoping they'll place him in a rehab
facility tomorrow, either at the hospital or at the Watermark on Logan
Circle.
Spine damage was extensive. After over an hour of prep time in the OR,
the surgery itself lasted three hours ... Doc said it was severe nerve
compression on both sides of his spine from L2 down to S1. Major problem was
Bunky being unable to have heavy duty narcotics after the surgery because of
the brain damage from Lipitor.
We'd been told the procedure was risky beforehand, but when the
neurosurgeon came up to talk to me after it was over, he said that having seen
Bunky's spine, if it had been himself, he would have risked the operation also.
These days with back surgery they usually throw you out of the hospital
after two nights, but they've kept Bunky five so far ... don't know how long
rehab will be, but they won't release him until he can climb a flight of
stairs. Having seen our home, you know why I've insisted upon that. ;-)
Thanks for asking ... did I tell you how happy I am that it's finally over?

Hi all,
Just wondering if the photog system is down again, or nobody's talking.
Have received nothing since WOC's amazing home remedies post, some of which
I'll definitely use.
Bunky had major back surgery on Wednesday, so I've not been checking in
much. Thought this morning would be a good time to catch up, but there's not
much here so thought I'd write.
