Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to let everyone know I'm doing very well since my T6-L3 fusion just over a week ago. I think I"ve been fortunate to be recovering as well as I have, I'm only 27 years old so I do have that on my side. Still, I must say that the best thing I've been doing for myself is to WALK. I walk 3 times a day on my treadmill (on one of the slowest speeds) but anywhere from 10-20minutes each time depending on how I"m feeling. Yesterday I walked a mile! I ache from the minute I wake up in the morning but I force myself to walk and it does make a world of difference. I am wearing a brace, as uncomfortable as it is at times, I think it does help me get the support I need to feel comfortable walking around.
I did want to ask, each day has been better and better for me, but yesterday I was in a lot of pain. I also noticed that we had terrible thunderstorms, is there any truth in some of the tales I hear that once you have metal rods/plates in your body, you can feel a difference based on bad weather? Just curious.
