Hi all~
I saw my back Dr. last Friday. Things are doing very well. My complications really set me back on concentrating on my back until now. I am now walking again and since I can drive I now I have gone to the Y and walked a mile 3 times. I will do this everyday. I know a mile doesn't sound like much but I just set that for a starting goal. It dawned on my today that I hadn't been able to walk a mile for a good 8 months before my surgery due to pain and now it just isn't even a push- WOW- I think the surgery is a success. My abdominal area is still pretty painful having been opened 3 times so I am still on pain meds and am totally ok with the idea- much less but still needed. I see the Dr. that performed my last 2 surgeries on Monday. The plan is for me to return to work on Feb. 2nd. I am happy with my progress even though I got set back in the middle of this process. I know a mantra on here has been "each has their own time frame" and I totally believe that and we should be happy for each persons progress but not let it depress us if it isn't as fast for us. This site is wonderful!!!
I hope all had a good New Years- my Christmas and New Years was filled with gratitude of being home to celebrate them!!!!
