Well it is hard to believe but one week has passed since my surgery. Reflecting back on the week I would like to express my gratitude to the wonderful nurses and staff at the Foothills Hospital who helped and encouraged me. Also thank you to DR. HU and his surgery group. The Spinal Fusion procedure was obviously a success as the pain in my right leg, related to the pressure on the sciatic nerve is completely gone. The only remaining pain is the stiffness/soreness in my lower back which I am managing with one or two percocet pain killers daily. The pain is not that bad, no worse than the minor hockey/soccer injuries that I have experienced over the years.
The last couple of days I have been out walking around the block and I am more mobile everyday. The only drawback is that it snowed last night so the street are to slippery to go out today. Boy I wish I was in Palm Desert.
I cannot believe the progress I have made in the first week and I hope this continues.

Been thinking of you and forgot about your blog. Just read it and glad everything is going so fantastic. The desert misses you...so when do you think you'll return. The weather has been perfect and the golf course is shaping up nicely.
Keep up the good work.
