Home Again - Home Again - Jiggity Jig

I am sitting in our Day Room viewing a deer walk across the back of our field. Beautiful sight. It's about5:30AM, been up since 4AM. Yesterday I was able to convince my Doctor I was ready to come home. It was my 9th day and I was amazed how much I improved in the last two days. It certainly was the largest surgery I have ever had. It went on for 7 hours and they fused L2-L3-L4-L5 together and made room for the nerves so I wouldn't be in pain. He nicked the spinal sac during surgery so I needed to lay flat 4 days because the sac needed to self-seal. Now all I need to do is heal and taking a nap is part of that. 5
