Pictures of surgery

This is an xray of my spine from the front view. This is a view from the side. I actually have 4 screws inside my body and now I carry a card that says to call the Orthopedic office in case I set off any alarms. It's a bit creepy, but I feel pretty good right now. Pain is about a 1. I am released to drive and walk and go to physical therapy, but I'm still going to take it easy for a few more weeks.

I can't believe how well Mom is doing. Today she tied her shoes, drove for the first time and took a pretty long walk - maybe too much, she just said her back is sore tonight. I can't tell if the screws are phillips head or normal.

Now those are the pictures I was talking about. Kids haven't seen them yet, but I think they'll love it! I vote phillips head.
