  • 4 week's as of today........

    Good morning my Scoli-friends! It was 4 weeks today, this same time, that I was patiently but nervously waiting in the "holding cell" in the hospital. I cant believe how fast time has gone by. I slept thru a whole night yesterday & felt great most of the day....even went for a car ride & survived this time! For most of the day, I felt great....however, I cant say that for today tho. I cant seem to find a comfortable spot in my bed. Its sooo annoying! Grrrrrr!! I would give my right arm for just a comfortable nights sleep, curled up in my bed, like I used too!! Siighhh....LOL...Well,my aunt is here now, so I think I will go back to bed now for a bit. Talk to you all soon-hope everyone is feeling good!

    Thanks for thinking of us, Lynn, and for checking in.

    It's only uphill from here!

    Take care of yourself!

      I'm glad you're doing better Lynn. I don't think I noticed improvement day to day at all. It seemed that all of a sudden--wow--I'm doing so much better than a few weeks ago! Keep taking those naps because you need them and they make you heal. Sleeping wasn't comfortable for me for a while either. Only in the last month or so has sleeping on my side started to feel like it used to. Well......almost

        Lynn,

        Hope you sleep better tonight.....I had a rotten night last night myself. Some nights I get such a burning sensation in my lumber spine and there is such a weakness there that I can't even roll over in bed with out a huge amount of effort and sometimes a tear or two. Good luck and I hope each day you keep feeling better and better.
