tethered cord release surgery updates

hi everyone, i had my tethered cord release surgery with dr klinge on the 12th, and i was in the hospital for three days. i got discharged this morning on the 15th. apparently the kind of tethering i had is rare and only about 3% of patients have it. it’s something with inflamed filum with blood vessels attached and fatty. i got pain medication and lidocaine patches to help with the pain. i was able to walk a lot more today, and yesterday i could barely walk. every day the walking does improve and they told me to take short walks to the bathroom and up and down my hotel room so i’ve been doing that, it’s been helping a lot. every day is going to get better. everyone that cared for me were extremely caring and so nice and checked on me every so often, so props to them.
