thanks for the replies so far..

It has been 2 1/2 weeks since the surgery and I feel great (even better than prior to aggrevating it). I am really amazed at how quickly everything has been going (from walking out of the hospital to the healing of the incision).

I know now the biggest problem I am going to have is not doing too much too soon. A huge part of me wants to be right back where I was and working out 4 or 5 times a week. It is going to be very much now a mental issue and my focus (hopefully) will be strictly following a rehab program once I have one.

I am sure most of the people on this board can identify with the issue of not being able to workout and how that can effect one emotionally...before this it was very diffucult to take the needed week off every 8 weeks or so..now being laid up for the last 2 months and knowing the rehab process will be slow even though I feel great..well..definately will be a huge mental test.
