In this thrilling episode of Rollon, Rich Roll takes us on a wild ride through his recent spine-chilling back surgery adventure. Battling chronic lower back pain like a true warrior, Rich delves into the gritty details of his spinal fusion surgery targeting the troublesome L5 and S1 vertebrae. Despite early warnings from his chiropractor, he bravely faced the decision to undergo this life-altering procedure, ultimately seeking relief from the relentless grip of spondylothesis that plagued him for over a decade.
With the skill of a seasoned race car driver, Dr. Langston Holly at UCLA Santa Monica expertly navigated Rich's surgery, utilizing a metal cage filled with bone grafting material to restore stability to his spine. Screws were strategically placed to hold everything together, creating a scaffold of strength in the face of instability. As Rich emerged from the operating table, he found himself in a whirlwind of pain, requiring heavy doses of intravenous delotted and oxycodone to tame the beast within.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Rich Roll embarked on a journey of recovery, facing the challenges of post-surgery mobility with the determination of a true champion. Armed with a walker to navigate the treacherous terrain of blood clot prevention, he pushed through the excruciating pain to get back on his feet. Through the haze of general anesthesia and the fog of medication, Rich's resilience shone bright, a beacon of hope in the face of adversity.
