No more epidural or IV tubes


His incision looks much better!
The nurses taking out the epidural & IV tubes. After the tubes came out the physical therapist came in & gave Ryan a massage. He will do that every day until we leave. He can finally take a shower...:) He can get pain medicine if he askes for it, he is doing really good. When he is up for more then half an hour he starts to feel stiff. The Dr. said it is from stretching out those vertabrae that have been pinched together. Dr Ritter-Lang is the top surgeon in the world he does an average of 10 ADR (artificial disc replacements) surgeons a week.-(just in this clinic/hospital, he has two others) He had done over 6000. I feel pretty good about coming to him!!
