953 nut 52,073 #1 Posted August 8, 2015 Friday I had my seven week check-up following spinal surgery and the doctor told me (in the presence of my wife) that I should be able to start doing anything that I normally did prior to the operation. Sooooo, this morning I got a couple hours of quality seat time mowing the lawn. Came back in the house singing " Back in the saddle again", the wife said I don't sing as well as Gene Autry but she was glad to see me so happy. I start Physical Therapy Monday and should be able to get back out in the barn to give the rest of the herd a little attention very soon. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,976 #4 Posted August 8, 2015 Wow, that is good news. It's been 11 months since my wife had L-1,2,3,and4 fused and she is still not allowed to vacuum or do any laundry. She was allowed to drive and shop after two months though. Maybe I should talk to her doctor. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 52,073 #12 Posted August 9, 2015 Wonder, doc say... you could vac, or do a little laundry? Craig, Doc didn't mention vacuuming so I won't do it, can't be too careful! As for driving and shopping, since I haven't been on pain killers and it never came up following the operation I have been doing both for a few weeks. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "Singing Cowboy" made it famous to us 70+ year oldsters, then Steven Tyler took a few liberties with it in the late '70s. I prefer the original, my age is showing.
