Back surgery done...home for a few days now..immense pain but hopefully that will go away. I try not to take too many painkillers don't want it to become a crutch or become addicted. Trying to stay positive but just wanted to thank my family and friends for being there ... Not one to ask for help but I do need it sometimes. Thank goodness for this site to keep my mind busy. I can only read so many books and television annoys me after a while. Well the recovery process begins again ... Wish me luck.
