Lance has had his titanium rods in his back since his jeep accident in 1998. They have always been OK and done their job but he has always talked about having them out. Over the last 6 months or so he has been having sporadic pains in his back, mostly while laying down, not able to workout anymore or go biking. He kept telling me it was the rods and I was so super nervous about him having them out. We saw quite a few doctors whom all had different opinions and then he saw Dr. Justin Holh. He believed they needed to come out and was willing to take them out and that's all Lance needed for a go!
So on November 19th he went in for surgery. The surgery was about 2 1/2 hours and everything went as planned. It was a good thing they took them out because one of the rods were broken He was up and walking that night as well as eating Taco Bell. The next day was a little different. He was so sick all day long. They had just over drugged him and he couldn't take all the meds so he slept most of the day getting up only to throw up. I brought him home that night even though they wanted to keep him and he was doing so much better the next day. He just needed a little detox and his own bed. I am so thankful everything went so well and he doing so much better now!
