Tamena,
That's some great flexibility! You had a pretty long incision, and those take time to heal. Your muscles have to knit themselves back together. I think it's great that you're off pain meds, and I think it's normal you are still in pain. My bad pain wasn't gone until 4-5 months post-op. Hang in there!

Back to work
Hy guys! I am back to work! I am starting out half days for a few and the going back to my regular sch. It is exciting to have some aspect of normal and not thinking about recovery every second at home with nothing to do. I am uploading some pics. Hope everyone has a great new year!

Great! Getting back to a normal life is a giant step to full recovery. Once I got around other people outside of the house, I seldom thought about any aches.Karen
