Just talked to the Dr. The surgery very well.

They removed the disc. She had bad arthritis. But he stabilized her spine with 2 or 3 screws. He also put some bone graph in between the L4 & L5 vertebra.

He's confident not only will her hip pain be relived, but he thinks the pain in her right foot will go away.

She's in recovery now. She should in a room in about an hour. He said she'll be here until Thursday or Friday.

I had L4/5 disk removed over 20 years ago, and yes, the pain in her hip and foot (no side of thigh discomfort?) is probably due to the pinching of the sciatic nerve.

She will be cured instantly of the cause, but really should continue the series of small movement exercises she will likely be prescribed to rebuild the support muscles in her lower back. There may be sudden flares of the old pain, flashes really, but eventually they dissipate with continued exercising.

You know I'm putting out all I got for you and your moms, Anth.

love ya bro.
