You're one tough SOB LB....you'll be fine. Good luck Bud.

LB- I had back issues too. 3 years ago, I switched to the PPGS of Don Trahan, and now, no back pain at all. All the best for your surgery.

Thanks, Landon. I've had moderate discomfort for 5-6 years, but it only became really painful in the last few months. I was also told, at the outset, that I was bone-on-bone, but they're still making me jump through hoops without any commitment on their part to actual surgery. I just wanna play some more golf! Hope all goes well for you.

    There he is.

    How do you feel buddy?

    Got out of surgery around 11:30. Evidently I was combatative coming out so they knocked me out. Got in my room around 3 because of it. Waiting for some vittles and to get out of this bed for the 1st time since this morning. This happens tonight!

      No wonder you liked like the way you did......
      More sedation for the big boy and a happy look.

      No more pain ? Besides from the surgery ?

        Good to see You could salute Son. Take whatever You can without PO'in the staff.

        Send me a text when You can. Remember the one's that mean the most ... not a preachin. 😎

            So cool that Buzzers are responding to another's plight. Who would have thunk it when Justin started it all in June of 2000.

            Applauding all

            👏👏👏...

            Sure looked like that drink was lifted by You. Maybe on the tray, but still your hand. 😎

                How was your short walk? Could you tell any difference?

                  Rest gently and sleep peacefully tonight Son.

                  Had 2 now. Burns where they drove that thing into my femur. Said they want me to put full weight on it.

                    I just remembered - if they give you opiods (Percocet, etc.) for pain, take a stool softener with each dose. That shit will block you up like a 2 inch rubber plug in a 1" hole.

                      LBlack14 Been on them for years Unc. I'm prepared for a change.

                      It will not only mess up your B.M. , it'll mess up your whole body and especially between your ears.
                      Get rid of it as soon as you can.
                      My surgeon made a comment to my family that I was unnecessarily being tough to take only half the prescribe dose after my surgery and winged it off 2 weeks before the average . But I know it's bad for my system, a little pain is better than taking the opioids more than you need.
                      You had been on it for a long time , seek help if you have difficulty rid of it.

                          It's great that you "pulled the trigger" and got it done. Now, pay attention to the therapists and you'll be back on the course before you know it. Good luck to you in recovery mode.

                          Yep -that stuff is bad juju. I quit the Percocet 3 days after my knee replacement last Nov. The Euphoric pain-free naps were nice, but I get the shakes from that crap, anxiety, compulsive club ho-ing.....................

                              Take your prescribed med. No need to tough it out in the first week after the surgery.
                              Did they say when to start the rehab ?

                                Take the pain meds. Pain puts stress on the heart and you don't need that now. I hope you're out there collecting birdies by May.

                                Had my last PT session here at the hospital a few minutes ago, gonna be heading home later. Will have, at home, PT for 2 weeks then rehab after that.

                                  Sounds like things are going well. As with any limb surgery it is very important to do the prescribed PT to get back your full range of motion and strength. Good luck on the rehab Landon.

                                    Speedy recovery, LB! Glad things (seemed) to have gone well without issue!

                                    Praying for a quick, pain-free rehab process for you!

                                    I want to thank all y'all for the well wishes here and via text. It really does mean alot to me. In home PT starts this afternoon around 3:30.

                                      Happy things went well. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and return to the game.

                                      Great time, enjoy the stretching and the "soreness"........you should feel much relaxed afterward.
