Home today. Doctor said the disc material he removed from my back is some of the most he has ever seen (and he does 75 microdiskectomies a year). They had my left leg nerve hooked to a monitoring device and saw it baseline/return to normal as soon as the material was removed (which he gave me--cool). Leg pain and numbness is gone. No more pins and needles across my foot. I can move my left leg and toes normally. The strength is about 60%, but better than the 10% I had going in; however, the strength will increase. Dr. Armen Khachatryan was great and so was the Jordan Valley Medical Center. As I was discharged, the hospital called me up and told me I would get a 25% discount if I pay cash within 14 days. I don't have a bill yet, but they estimated $2,400. I know that's just the hospital, but that seems like a great price. I will post more pricing as it rolls in. No physical activity for 3 weeks. Also, probably no running for 3 months, but hopefully some pool running soon. |
