I wanted to take a little time and post a praise. I had an anterior discectomy and fusion done this past Tuesday. I had to stay overnight after the procedure. I must say that I had the best nursing staff. These people were FANTASTIC!!! Every tech and nurse that entered my room was pleasant and didn't' seem aggravated when I asked them for help. They were prompt when getting my medications and even stopped in my room to ask if I needed help with things even when I didn't ring for help. I know these are all things that we are supposed to do as nurses, but I can attest now from a patient's point of view how much these little things mean to someone who is in the hospital.

So, to all the nurses and support staff that are out there doing a great job...MANY, MANY THANKS!!!:yeah:

Glad to hear you had a good experience!

Just out of curiosity...how are you recovering? I have a herniated L5-S1 and have been considering surgery. You've hit the year mark and do you feel like it improved your health? Does your back still hurt? Any residual symptoms? Any info would be appreciated. Hope you're doing well!
