From your xray looks similar to mine lumbar decompression with instrumentation and fusion sound familiar? Took me awhile to learn that phrase and I'll be out most of the summer! 7 days after surgery I'm not in a good place birdhunter pls tell it'll get better!

I am in the pre-surgery, be careful when you walk stage. The left leg decides to just bail on me occasionally and has a bunch of numbness.
Just got the MRI results and it sounds about the same as everyone's. The recovery time sounds longer than I hoped, but final results sound promising.
Funny but the Surgeon thinks he can fix it, the pain guy thinks he can, and so does the Physical Therapist! I think they all have ex-wives and boat payments to make!
Since I have gone this far I am going to try and put off the knife until I hit Medicare, I'm 63.5!

Great fish, hope they're still biting at Green early in the day this weekend!
