Karylinn's surgery went well with a "Comma But"
The disk bulge was larger than expected and all removed successfully. The nerves were freed up well and when she woke up, felt no more pain in the leg, though the back incision was painful.
Comma but, there was a complication going in. What happened is that of the muscles and ligaments that had to be moved out of the way, there was one that adhered to the sack containing the nerves. There was a tear that caused some spinal fluid to leak. The good news is that the repair was good. The bad news is that in order for the repair to heal, she needs to stay flat on her back for two days.
So we're here at the hospital until Wednesday at least. Fam, you know how to reach me
