gary,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- the spine is a critical structure
- was the herniated disc precipitated at work or play?
- has your surgeon recommended any physical therapy? If so, have you been faithful with it? Have other activities such as yoga been suggested?
- as for feeling normal? If you are eventually without pain, then that may be as close to 'normal' as you will get
- I assume you are asking for some Reiki here??
- if so, I will add you to my list for nightly Reiki practices (my brother had two discs fused a number of years ago and seemed to benefit to some degree from Reiki though he contiunes to have some occasional pain that he will likely have to live with til the end of his days)
Reiki All Around,
All Blessings,
