They did surgery on an Als?

After nearly 10 years of waiting, it finally happened for me on Monday. Today (Thursday) I had my first sit out of bed for 30 minutes and it was painful. Tomorrow I do it more and the day after, I get my bandages off. It’s all a bit unreal for me still. I kinda thought I’d never reach this milestone. The easy part of lying unconscious is done, now for the deliberate work of recovery.
