Good morning, everyone! I woke this morning feeling pretty darn good. My spine is fantastic, and the surgical pain is bearable. It was a tough first week, but I made it and it feels so good to be home and able to sit with my laptop!
I discovered that as one ages they do not always do well with certain types of medications. I used to get knocked out and use pain medications with little problem. Now I practically go into a coma. Now this 58 year old lady prefers Tylenol!
You know, I am really hoping I am finished with all surgery. I just find the entire experience kind of scary. I had three IV’s, and felt as weak as a kitten.
I’ve been home since Monday and that is simply the best! I came right in and went to bed, and Greta and Arnie came right in, and Greta did not leave my side for four hours. Then she had her dinner and came right back.
My bone simulator arrived yesterday. I need to use it for 4 hours a day to help promote the growth of the spinal fusion. It’s a weird thing and feels a little strange when wearing it.
Well, that’s all for now. Life is good and I am so happy to be home!
OMG you are home already!!! Way to go, woman!!!!
Glad the surgery went well and that you are feeling better already.
Take it easy for a while and get all the way to 100%.
Lots of HUGS!
That is great news, glad it all went well. Take Care!
