I’m glad to hear you are home and feeling better. Good luck with the PT, I hope you are able to ride soon. Though not until the DR.s say it is OK.
I wanted to post a thank you to all the people who helped me with my back problems. I thought often of how considerate everyone was to respond with well-wishes, similar stories, professional and Non-professional opinions. Ever word was very helpful, and I felt more informed than ever when I went back and spoke with the doctors who would help me out. I wanted everyone to know that I took every post and printed them out and thought long and hard about them. I researched Cauda Equina Syndrome, and several other things that were mentioned. If nothing else I’ve come away from this with a profound understanding of how caring and compassionate this board is.
Not sure if anybody is interested, but I thought I’d post an update. I eventually saw a second doctor, who reiterated the first doctor who stated I needed surgery. Within the date of my last post and now, my pain has increased exponentially. Consequently, I am laying here, souped up on Vicoden, unable to ride and waiting to go into surgery tomorrow at 3:00. Needless to say, I’m a bit worried, but I have a good feeling that this may help me so much. It will be my first major surgery of my life, but I am actually feeling relieved.
Anyhow, Just wanted to say thank you to everyone…And I’ll be back soon!!!
Sidenote: Oh, and by the way, My Kryswyn puppy is doing a good job of keeping my face well-licked and my nose well-nibbled. She is becoming quite the lady of the house and is loved in unreal amounts 
Always,

Fingers, hooves and paws crossed for your successful surgery and speedy recovery, FairWeather.
Remember, when the doc says rehab/physical therapy, it’ll be the best thing to help get you back in that saddle again.
Just stick to your PT, make sure you get big doses of puppy love, and you’ll be back to the barn in no time!
