Hi everyone,
First I want to thank everyone for their support and positive well wishes that came my way during my 3 week stint in Boston resulting in correction of my kyphosis through 2 surgeries and a whopper of an incision. It really was an ordeal but fortunately, I saw my surgeon, Dr. Frank Rand once or twice a day after surgery. He would come by and actually talk to me to make sure that I was feeling comfortable and would increase my pain meds if necessary. I have never had a surgeon spend that much time with me post surgery and never had one who was concerned about my level of pain after surgery. So far, Dr. Rand is no. 1 in my book. I had some fantastic nurses and some that could have partnered with Dr. Evil. Between surgeries and after the second surgery I spent time at a genesis rehab and I came home on Sunday, March 1st. All told, I spent 3 weeks in Boston and I will go back in 12 weeks for my first post surgery appointment. I have quite a bit of post surgery pain but none of it seems like the pain that I had before surgery. My thoracic region without doubt, hurt(s) more than anything I have ever felt in my life, especially post surgery and continues to be so two weeks post surgery. Anyway I gotta go and try to sneak in a shower. MY husband is out of town so I am alone for a couple of days and the best time to get in the shower is in the morning when I have the least amount of pain.
more later.
peace,
