Just a quick post at five weeks -
I'm working 6 hours a day, which feels like it may be my limit for awhile. When I leave work, I'm able run some errands, but then am very ready to return home and lie down for awhile or take a walk.
My pain level is similar to one week ago; pretty achy in my shoulder blade area. But, today when laying down at work, I had a few minutes of absolutely NO pain, reminiscent of good pre-op days! It was so great, and I reveled in it.
On a personal note, I just started my period. I know that's come up in other posts, so I thought I should mention it. I was really hoping for a reprieve for a few months
but I guess this means my system is trying to get back up and running.
My favorite news is that I slept for 5 hours straight last night! Yeah!!! I have quite a sleeping area rigged up - a firm mattress borrowed from my grandparents, on top of which is a 2" memory foam, then a wedge pillow, and two other pillows - one under my butt and lower back and one under my legs. That configuration came after nights and nights of experimentation
