That's great Janice.

Lets hope things move smoothly along and that Lou gets all better.

Hope he gets better really soon. I'll keep you both in my prayers.

Janice · 10-11-2012, 11:34 AM

Tomorrow (Friday) is the big day. SURGERY.

I'm afraid, but I know it's necessary for Lou to be able to walk again. He's in one of the best spine hospitals around, with one of the best spine surgeons, so that gives me a lot of comfort. Still, it's in my DNA to worry, can't help it. Please say a prayer that all goes well. Thanks.

Marvo301 · 10-11-2012, 01:52 PM

Janice, you and Lou will be in my thoughts and prayers tommorrow.

That's good that tomorrow is surgery today. I hope it goes very well. I know you're afraid. Try not to worry too much if possible. It's good that he's at the best possible place for surgery. I'm sure he will do just fine during the surgery. Feel free to call me if you want. Romeo sends kittly hugs and love. Hang in there. I wish I could be there for moral support. Take care and please keep us updated.

I think it's perfectly normal to be concerned. Who wouldn't be?! Like you said though, he's in a good hospital-KEEP that in mind if thoughts start to go off...

You're a special person Janice and so is Lou. So many of us are rooting for you both, with LOTS of thoughts and prayers. You have a very good head on your shoulders, sometimes all you can do is just take the next right action. Keep us posted. God Bless.

You're reacting just about the same way I would, I think. Optimism tempered by dread borne from experience.

Gosh, I hope things go well for you guys. We are all praying for you out here. Seems so unfair this has happened due to a good deed.

Please check it when you can, with whatever news there is. We're here for you.

Lou's surgery went well. His surgeon told me that it was worse than expected once inside. Said that MRIs don't show all the problems. The name of his surgery was a Decompression Laminectomy. He said that the nerves were a mess, and he spent a lot of time fixing them. He told me to be patient, that some patients regain all of their strength and mobility, some gain half and although rare, some none.

He said that Lou is a strong man, both in mind and body, and he expects him to do well. This surgeon knows Lou as he did his lumbar spinal fusion seven years ago. A lot will depend on Lou, how hard he works with his Physical Therapists. He has to go to an in-patient facility for anywhere from "two weeks to two months". I know that it's necessary, but i miss him being home so much and it's only been 10 days.

A big cyberhug to those who found it in their hearts to offer me a kind word or three during this trying time, and a big middle finger to those who purposely did not.

Retro4Life · 10-13-2012, 01:33 PM

That sounds like a net positive, Janice. Time will tell you more, of course, but it sounds like there's lots of hope for Lou to regain at LEAST some or most of his walking ability, and possibly ALL of it.

Thanks for the cyberhug, btw!

Janice, that's great that Lou did so well with the surgery.

I hope that he is able to regain all his mobility. You're right he's a strong man. I know you miss him.

I hope Mr. Bear and Wally are rooting for Lou.

AB · 10-13-2012, 04:10 PM

So glad his surgery went well & hope he does good with the therapy.

Marvo301 · 10-13-2012, 05:00 PM

There were some people who were unkind to you, Janice? How dare they!

I am sending prayers for a full recovery to you and Lou.
