This is great news! Keep on keeping on!

The cane is gone, and my golf swing is improving. Going to make my October goal.

Happy Birthday Hubba!

Hope you have a wonderful day and a year filled with joy and happiness! Good luck in rehabbing your back and I'm sure that next year at this time there will be much improvement. Enjoy your trip to New Orleans on Valentine's Day!

Lady Jane 's comment about catheters reminded me that I needed to give a final update on this thread. Thursday will be 1 year since I was discharged from the hospital. I have a couple happy pieces of news to report.

From the surgeries I had a DVT in my right leg. It showed zero improvement at my 6 month ultrasound, and I'd been on Eloquis the entire time. At the 1 year ultrasound it is completely gone! Bye-bye blood thinners!

X-rays show that the hardware in my back is holding well. My surgeon, who I can't thank enough, said I am good to go for golf as long as I don't swing for the fences. Again,

Physically I am still getting stronger, as I joined a gym and have training sessions twice a week. That has been huge to continue my therapy working on balance and strength. I am able to do just about anything I need to do now, which is fantastic.

Things that still need work... I have 2. Neuropathy in my left thigh is pretty painful even with 2 different pills. Looking for alternatives. Also, my legs are still numb. They feel like they have been shot full of Novocain. That may or may not improve from here.

Any way I slice it, if it had to happen to me, I think I've come through it about as well as I possibly could. I believe I got a miracle. I'm humbled and thankful. Thank you to all of you that showed support on this thread! You kept me motivated and in good spirits more than I can say. To quote my favorite T-shirt: Life isn't perfect, life isn't easy, life is good!
