That's good news, Rita. I think you two took the only option that promised a
reasonable remedy and I'm glad it's over too. Give Bunky our best.

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?
xxx
Rita
