Sounds like they will help make it a success, even if you don't ask them!
People who love you won't mind helping you even more. I would bend over backwards (which at my age isn't easy lol) to help a friend or family member in need. I think you could easily get some of those loved ones to take instruct (if I were one of them for a friend I would do so happily). Never be afraid to ask for help. I know that when others have felt the way that I believe you do, I never felt like they owed me anything.well this is a kinda " thank you " BBQ for friends that have helped us in one way or another during the past few months , they would understand even if i postphoned it , but if there is any way that i can get it done , i'm going to , all of these people have been a huge help to us and i feel that i owe it to them .
I suspect having 4 discs replaced along with the accompanying scaffolding, it may take more or of you than you're expecting. But with surgery like this, you're so bad before hand that recovery is faster than people imagine simply because you feel so much better for it in the long run.this will be my 6th back surgery, i have always been able to get back up and running fairly fast , but this is going to be the most extencive one yet . guess i'll just have to see how i feel after its over . i should be just getting out of surgery about this time next Monday (12:45 pm ) it supposed to start at 7:15 am.... doc said it would take 6-8 hours
Mine don't hurt. (Bones don't have nerves, only the surrounding tissue does. )the part i am dreading is the metal rods he is going to put in my back ...thats gotta hurt
