I had my first real endurance test with my new back this weekend and passed with flying colours.  I was tasked at work with merging two Active Directories – essentially merging the backends of two separate companies.  30 hours of work with the majority of them in front of my home workstation and no sleep on Sunday night!  I was a little groggy on Monday, but knocked off early, went to bed and woke up refreshed today.  I had next to no back pain while working and took small breaks for physio/walking.  There is no way I could have done this pre-op!

Physically demanding work and sports are still a ways out but, I’m pretty happy with this small milestone.  🙂
