Saw Dr. Whitaker yesterday for a 5-week check-up. Rods and screws still in place where they need to be. I'm to continue wearing the TLSO brace all the time (except showering and when laying down in bed) for another six weeks and then we will discuss beginning to wean myself off. I can begin to use the treadmill, can drive, can resume work (I work only mornings and it's a sedentary job), and can swim. Basically, I am to listen to my body --- if it hurts, don't do it. I've been walking between 1-2.5 miles per day. Feeling really good --- still using 3 Lortab and 3 Flexeril each day. Need to begin weaning off that.
I'm so grateful for how well my recovery has gone. Thanks for all your encouraging words! Thanks most of all for your prayers --- Our God is an Awesome God!
