Lumbar Rhizotomy

Well I am home and I feel okay. My appt was at 2 and I had to be there at 1. They did not get started on me until about 2:45 because of an 'issue in the O.R.'! Anyway, they put me under while they placed the needles in my back, and slowly brought me out so that I could tell them when I felt that the needle was in place. That was odd! No pain though it was just pressure like someone pushing on me. Then came the fun part...they turned up the radio waves and then my legs started pulsating! Very strange feeling! Anyway, one thing I was not aware of that I am now is that Dr. Bierig did the right side today and I go back next week for the left side. He only does one side at a time in case there is residual pain and swelling. He does not want my pain to be doubled by him doing both at once. Mom came up early this a.m. so she is entertaining Cade Man as I am not suppose to lift him today. I will keep ice on it off and on for as long as I can and then I should have pain tomorrow and then be pretty much good to go! Thank you so much for all the prayers!
