I took a personal day today as Kimi recovered from the surgery. She was in good spirits and only a little dazed from the morphine, and came home today around 11:30. She was in pain from the surgery but for the first time in years didn’t seem to have back pain. Apparently the nerve was gigantic and inflamed, and the surgeon said she was surprised by the extent of the damage. But preliminarily at least, all seems to be better.

The kids are both in good spirits (although Sophie’s falling asleep too soon to get a good dinner) and glad to see their mom again.

I’ll keep you updated, but so far we’re both optimistic that the surgery was a success.

From here, she’s got six weeks of no lifting anything more than 8 pounds, no bending at the waist, and two weeks of no driving.
