After years of doctors having no answers to my friend's debilitating, life-changing ailments and pain, he was referred to a neurosurgeon by a physical trainer. Neurosurgery ensued mere weeks later, with hopefully fully effective results.
He's already home, although he's in a lot of pain. They cut open the back of his neck, in effect, and snaked implements down his throat as they worked.
It sounds awful, but he's already been walking about a little, carefully, and he reports that his leg pains are gone. Maybe it's only a result of the pain medication, but he is very upbea
t. (Right: My past running buddy & friend is looking forward to a full recovery after serious spinal surgery.)He's already graciously wishing me success in my much-more-minor surgery scheduled tomorrow. We're both ready to get to the recovery!

no matter what pain we must endure to restore mobility, it's worth it. Good luck to your friend and hope he walks or runs with you soon
Peter,
I hope your surgery went well and that you will be able to return to running soon.
Remember, it only hurts when you laugh.
Don
I am glad your friend came out okay and I hope your surgery went well too!
Everyone here is so right on. Myriam, I told my running buddy today that the surgery is behind us (his was much more serious) & every day brings us closer to running those miles. Don, you're right, laughing hurts but WTF? Danielle, my friend is doing well (going up stairs & demonstrating 1-legged balances [showing off]) & my surgery went fabulously, thanks!
