SHE IS HOME!!!
Couple hours later than expected due to surgeons busy schedule.
But she is home, walking better, pain is much better.
Surgeon had Cindy move several ways and said it looked like she should be good. But he did remove one piece of bone that was detached and causing all the problems. We'll have a better idea in a day or 2 as she heals and drugs wear off.
Surgeon recommended continuing to use the back brace for another 6 weeks to give things a chance to heal.
The part that took the longest of this whole thing was getting the surgeon free to check the drain he put in, and then take the drain out.
That took 3 hours. But Cindy had a comfortable bed and lousy TV to watch with no sound.
Me I was able to eat lunch and get a second nap in. When you don't get to sleep to near midnight, and your up at 3am, makes for a long night and wearying day.
But all is done and well with the world.
Thank you all.
