Ave, Mater!
(I hope that gender change was a typo, rather than another surgery...)
(ps. this is a latin joke- one of the two that I know...)

Ok everyone, this is easier than calling all of you individually.
Darius has made it through back surgery beautifully. The doctor found it
all a little worse than the films indicated, but that was not a problem.
Surgery was at L5-S1 where the doctor removed the cartledge that was pushing
on the siatic (I can't spell) nerve. He is in the Post-Op recovery room at
Arlington Memorial.
He is being his normal, snarky self, that wants things on his own time
scale. He was not pleased to wait for paperwork to be done before he got
his ice chips and stuffed tiger. He said "paperwork was for Laurels", I
explained to him that he was a Laurel, therefore paperwork had to be done
(hee hee hee - isn't he cute when he is just waking up). Darius said the
pain is less than it has been in months and that he felt like he had been
stabbed in the back (funny - that is exactly what the doctor did). In a
word "It Hurts!" In about 3-4 hours he will be moved to a room. His goal
tonight is to eat, get up and walk, and see his girls. If he has been a
good boy, the doctor will let him come home on Thursday.
I will be home until 11:50 this morning and then again all afternoon until
the girls come home from school. Feel free to call if you want more info
