re: Lumbar Laminectomy stories please.

I had it done Dec 21 on my L4. They rolled me back at 9 am and I was in the car at noon. The first week I just took it easy. Watched a lot of bowl games. The sciatic pain was off and on. They gave my a steroid for a week and I started walking a lot. Got up to 3 miles quickly. I walk every day. I wish I had done it long ago. I feel 15 years younger. I’m not 100% cured but feel 95% cured. Just don’t try and do too much too soon.
