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.

Pre-surgery and surgery

So we were hanging out waiting for Jo to get wheeled into surgery and her last words to me were, "Behave yourself"....that's my JoJo!   As if I can really get in the room to dye her hair green or something!

The procedure actually got under way around 10ish. Looks like about 90 minutes for anterior portion, 30 minutes for the table flip, and then another 90 minutes or so for the back!

All Good!
