Im a few days late on this update....this working thing is keeping me from my precious laptop and I hate it! ha ha ha
Post op check was pretty much a waste of time, as I thought/predicted it would be. (I was just there on the 7th about my butt/hip pain and had xrays then-like things changed in 12 days..ppllleeeeasse) Anyway...ahh humm...my artifical restrictions(I think that was the word used?!) have "been lifted" and Im free to go about my usual routine. I have no weight limits and can bend at the waist as I please. I was given the OK to use the stair stepper, eliptical and free weights (Im not a gym person at all, but good to know) Apparently Im doing quite well. He still is uncertain of what is the cause of my night time lower back/butt/hip pain, but now that Ive taken the couch as my bed and am only getting about 6- hrs a sleep at night, it has not been as much of a pain in the @$$(no pun intended) as it had been. Im falling asleep faster w/the valium and staying asleep...so I just take one a night and dropped the Vicodin. Im still to be on the nerve pills(Gabapentine) however, which isnt too bad I guess....it does make me sleepy at work tho but let me tell you, its MUCH better than that nasty nasty itchiness I had! Again- A BIG THANK YOU to Pam for that one! Still makes me laugh!
As far as work goes......Im in the banking industry(mtg loans, equities, etc) and we are a little slow, job functions are changing and everyone is walking on egg shells. Im just happy to have a seat and a pay check twice a month!!!
Hope all is well for everyone else...just wanted to share my news......
