Update

Hey all!

I'm still doing great. I got my staples out this morning. That almost made my faint because a few staples were in my incision. Other than that it went well. Today I had a pretty bad headache but besides that I have had no pain in my back what-so-ever and I wake up numbness-free!

I hope my experience gives hope to everyone out there contemplating the surgery. If anyone has any questions about how the surgery went and my experiences went, feel free to ask!

Kate
