Healing - grand but it itches

 Thank you to the faithful followers - as few or as many as you are.

I'm recovering from back surgery. Surgery went very well! Pain relief was immediate, even after the drugs wore off. It was for lumbar stenosis, a very painful thing. If you have sciatica, numbness, and pain - especially in the left leg - get thee to an MRI. It is easier to fix early on.

Computer time is limited until next month. 

One more thing -  I am getting a "lumbar kneeling stool" - it is better for your back than a chair.

Edit: Today, August 2, 2022, I saw the doctor for my "post-op" visit. I asked him about the stool, and he does not recommend it as being very hard on the knees. 

The best advice is that whatever you do- take breaks. If sitting at a computer, get up and walk around. If standing at the drafting table - sit down with a cup of coffee (or glass of wine?)

The draft of the new article should be done soon. Title: "Will this Work?"
