Hi everyone,
If you want to see some pictures of what my back looks like now - click on this link http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...&id=1563669034
I'm so happy to be home with my sons and my mum, I'm so blessed to have my mother who has been like an angel taking such good care of my sons, and of course now also helping me when needed with food, housework, laundry etc.
Shari - I'm thinking of you as I know it's this Thursday for your surgery. I know you will do fantastic, and it will seem like seconds when you're back on here writing and telling us how fantastic you are doing. I'm excited for you
There is no doubt the build-up before surgery can be so daunting, but it's as quick as the blink of your eyes thank goodness.
I must say the first few days after surgery - particularly the 3rd to 5th days for me, were really hard. But like everyone on here has said, some days you feel like you're getting stronger and doing a little bit more, and then the next day you could feel completely differently - weaker, sadder, etc. But for the most part, I try to take each day as it comes, and keep a very positive attitude. One thing this has taught me is that - everything else in life after this is small stuff. So I will no longer sweat the small stuff, and take each little thing one at a time, deal with it, and move on. I feel like not only is my back stronger, but my whole mentality and outlook in life feels stronger too.
I'm definitely suffering like Laura with the bowel movements, I've tried every single thing, and the best thing does seem to be the magnesium caltrate. However good friends of mine suggseted this herbal pill called "Swiss Kriss" which I'm trying first, if by tomorrow night nothing has happened, then I will take the magnesium caltrate which is sitting in my fridge right now. My stomach feels very bloated and I look pregnant, but it's not too uncomfortable for me in comparison to poor Laura.
So how about the other two musketeers? How are you both doing? I'd love to hear ALL your news etc.
If anyone wants to ask me any questions at all - please don't hesitate. Now that I'm home it's much easier to type on my computer.
Again, thank you thank you thank you everyone on here for helping me so much with your encouragement and words of advice leading up to surgery, it helped me tremendously.
Take care for now,
Lynette.
