12 years ago, I underwent my first L5-S1 Discectomy. During that time, I had very limited knowledge on becoming modified independent during my recovery. Lucky enough, my mother made herself available to care for me. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Fast forward to my second trimester of pregnancy, I noticed the burning returning down my leg. This time the familiar debilitating pain would be going down the back of my left leg. I immediately knew what it was and knew I would need surgery again if I wanted to remain modified independent for my daughter’s sake. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This time I was prepared with my handheld shower chair, shower bench, and even a 4Wheel walker for when my stomach started to really grow and I still had to make my way to my kitchen and bathroom. I even used electric wheelchairs for my shopping. But as I recovered slowly, it was these three items that helped me roll my way to kitchen, the cane to help me enjoy being outside with my daughter and the reacher so I could pick up toys during the 3 months of No BLT (No bending, lifting or twisting). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
With the help of others and my knowledge in back pain, sports medicine, physical therapy and most importantly pelvic floor rehab, I have returned to being able to lift over 50 lbs and run.

No one preps you for after back surgery. My goal is to bring comfort and knowledge to those about to undergo and who already been through back surgery recover fast and decrease the burden of care it causes. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
