The Gopher

I had my back surgery on Wedesday and got to come home on Thursday. So far things have been ok....really sore and hard to get up or down (like to lay down or get out of bed). My restrictions are that I can't do any bending, lifting, twisting, crawling.....you get the idea....or riding in a car for 6 weeks. So day one....I dropped something and you just have to look at it. It feels weird that you can't just bend down and pick it up. The thought that I couldn't ever pick anything up for the next 6 weeks...I didn't know how that would work. On Friday Ted and Tami came out to visit and guess what they brought me? A gopher......you can see the pictures below. But you can grab things up high or things that you drop. I guess that Tami's mom has has a couple back surgery's and told Tami that would be the best thing they could get me. And so far...its true. It really does work...and it really does help a ton. So thanks Ted and Tami.....that will be a huge help over the next several weeks.

Funny....I got these pictures off the "gopher" website........gives you an idea how cool it is.
