Wally's Surgery

Posted on November 11, 2007:

I had a conversation with Wally Jones this evening. His back surgery went well. He had slight complication with digestive system on the second day, which required an additional day in the hospital. He was released yesterday (Saturday, 11/10/07), returned home today from San Antonio. No walker is needed. The staples will be removed in two weeks.

Wally said that he has no pain in his leg now. He also said, "I have feeling in my leg and two toes now, which I haven't experienced in twenty years".

Update from Wally on November 23, 2007:

Progress is being made, am up most of the day now, still some pain meds, though not as often. Leg pain seems to be gone though I am holding till back pain is less then I can tell if leg is in fact OK.

Sleeping better and not as many naps during the day since I am up.

Go back 11/29, for checkup. Now all I can do is walk daily and see how fast back can recover.
