Progress is Progress

Well, I just had my first post-surgical follow up with my Neurosurgeon and he had good things to say. Before the surgery, he had given me a 50/50 chance of success and now he believes that I am on the better side of those odds. The only concern we have is that there may be a hardware issue. The X-rays show that one of the screws may be passing through the nerve bundle, effecting my right leg. He has referred me to another doctor to deal with resolving this issue and I see him at the end of the month. So 5 months out of work now and no sign of when I will be able to return :(
