Gino,

You first BHR has left you well prepared for your second BHR. You know the drill. This will be a piece of cake.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Steve

Well so far so good. It will be two weeks tomorrow for the surgery. Staples came out yesterday by the visiting nurse, ditched the walker, been getting around with the cane this week. Some swelling issues but not nearly as blown up as the right one was. Some numbness in the non-op leg like last time, on the surface of the thigh, and occasional pain jabs there when trying to get adjusted in bed, I attribute that to my lousy lumbar discs. Hopefully it will diminish as time goes on. Deer season opens 11/20, I'm hoping I can hobble out into the woods at least for opening morning!! Last year was absolute agony. By Christmas God willing I should be pretty much back to normal. We are so fortunate to live in a time when we can be repaired like this!

Sounds like you are doing great! My surgery is in 48 hours...I'm excited but also a little apprehensive about the unknown. Keep up the good work!
