Suddenly being the happy drunk doesn't seem like such a bad thing, lol.

I am doing well. Just waiting on doctor's schedules.

Do you have any stories from coming out of anesthesia? Apparently I didn't believe my wife was my wife and I was yelling at the top of my lungs for my very pregnant nurse by the nickname of "PREGGERS!". I do not recall any of this. It might be that my 2nd surgery was over 9 hours being under.

I had an accidental accident. I was the only vehicle involved. Lost control on a rainy night on the interstate. Did a 180, 75 mph right into a concrete median, complete stop. Needless to say I've had to have 2 spinal fusions. The first one was only posterior. The 2nd was posterior and anterior. Lumbar L4 - S1 fusion.

Don't let the depression get to you. Nine years later I'm still trying to find ways to deal with the pain. I've had countless spinal injections, lumbar lysis to remove scar tissue, physical therapy and medication. Trying to pursue nerve cauterization at the moment. Never give up.
