hey everyone its lindsay again.
i was just wondering how im doing compaired to everyone else.
i still need help in the shower washing my hair, because i cant keep my arms up that long.
im mostly in bed and im getting up every 30 minutes to stretch and walk around.
i cant bend much, like forward or backward.
i cant sit for more that 40 minutes.
i started pool therapy and im really stiff now. but im told its a good thing. that im getting better.
and i still walk a little hunched over, i think im scared to try to stand up straight...i dont know..
im just worried that im behind in my recovery, how is everyone else doing??
OH AND FYI..
if you are having surgery, once you get home and take showers, keep them cool and quick. the nurses never told me this but without moving much then getting in a hot shower you can faint. and thats exactly what happened to me. i got out of the shower and my mom was there and i was wiping myself off and i just blacked out. thank god my mom caught me, because falling would have been terrrible, but i was in the water too long and i had it too hot. (it felt good!) i was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else or did your doctor warn you about this??
