It was a discectomy (removing a piece of disc) and laminectomy (removing some of the lamina around the disc) and they also removed some electrodes that were in his back for pain control but no longer work. (He will have another short procedure on Thursday to remove the pacemaker which operated the electrodes.)
He is recovering in hospital now and doing a lot better than 24 hours ago. He was in good spirits this evening and has had a steady stream of visitors throughout the day!
The doctor is happy so far and hopefully after a few more days and probably quite a bit of physio he will be using his legs again. He willl be there for about another 8 days or so.
Some pictures from yesterday:
The long walk to ... the front door!
We were loaned this walker which was a HUGE help.
All decked out in his hospital pyjama's!
On the way to theatre.
