  • Three and a half months post op

    Hey guys, so I'm now 3.5 months post op, and lets just say that things are a bit 'off'. I've been incredibly busy with tons of stuff lately, and it's safe to say that my health has been sort of affected. I'm feeling a lot of things that I had read about on this forum, and I'm trying to get past 'em. Anyway, I get my new camera this week, and I'm going to make a very detailed post on my blog about how I feel, and how my scar's healed so far. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the emails I've gotten so far... they've been very encouraging. Anyway, I'll have my post on Saturday... pictures and all. Thanks again you guys, its awesome to have this forum.

    MOnie!!!! I am so glad to see you post! I have been thinking about you a lot, and wondering how you have been! I will await your blog update and see how you feel, then write again. Hang in there and keep your chin up, it is a long road ahead of us!

      Spinewhine, i've been keeping up with yours, too, and have really enjoyed it.. please keep us informed. I hope your recovery continues to go well, just don't overdo things. (((hugs)))

      My surgery was in-between the two of yours so i can relate to everything i read.

        I too have been worried about you and kept checking your blog - I wondered if you had been permanently snowed in!

        I'll look forward to Saturday and your update.

        BTW, I got my date!

            Wow.... thanks guys!!! Everytime I come on here, there's someone making me feel special!! I'm doing good... I've come to know my limits, and how to deal with 'em... Occasionally something happens with my back that throws me COMPLETELY off, but all in all, it's not bad.

            I haven't posted lately because my laptop's wireless card has stopped working, so the only Internet connection I have is in the living room. Being that I sit in front a PC all day at work, the very last thing I want to do when I get home is sit in front of another.

            Anyway, I missed posting. I'm really excited because I get my new camera in this week, so I guess that's incentive for me to post. I want to post pictures of my scar, my back, my posture with my new curve, even the way my ribs poke out.

            I'm really looking forward to it. It's been a long time since I sat down to write, so I know it'll be fun. Thanks again everyone. Meg, you sound GREAT!! Wow!! I'm amazed how chirpy you sound, I think that's awesome!! Pip, thank God you finally got your date huh? How're you feeling? Ok? excited? nervous? Hopefully more excited than nervous! I'm sure you'll do great..

            Thanks again guys... reallly.
