With the ALIF procedure, Joanne and I are hopeful that she will once again have the freedom to tie her shoes, walk without numbness and only have me be the pain in her ass versus the constant back pain she has had for the last 6 years.

Post-OP day 1

Jo had a rough night. The dilaudid (pain med) made her nauseous so they took her off that and gave her a morphine shot last night. Still with much discomfort but hoping to get rid of some things today and get up and walking. Please call me if you plan to visit today. Jo has stated this morning that she is not sure up for visitors.
Thanks!

  1. Oh no - not Dilaudid!!! I was telling Jo that when I had surgery a few years back they gave me that stuff and monsters were coming out of the windows and tv and I was floating above my bed. Bad stuff, very bad stuff! It actually felt better to hurt than to have the side effects. Glad she is feeling better and moving around.
