Hi all,
I must apologize for not posting much since surgery. I was in the hospital for 7 days and then a few days after getting home everyone in my family got the flu. Thank God for anti-nausea meds!!! Surgery went very well and my prior curves of T-68 & L-80 are now both around 10 degrees! I also have grown 3 inches to now stand at 5'9. I knew there was a good reason for my big feet Anyway, I am recovering slowly and have stopped taking the percoset now and am trying to wean off the oxycotin. I am still taking valium and a muscle relaxer but am starting to alternate these instead of being on both. I really cant say I have any pain muscles just get tight and ache. I think one of if not the hardest part of recovery is being cooped up and unable to much or get out. Seems any activity wears me out so it's hard to accept and pace myself but I know it will be worth it to follow Dr's orders. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and responses to my many many questions. For those of you who are thinking about surgery and have questions please feel free to contact me. For those who have had surgery how much were you walking and how soon after surgery? I'm kinda worried I'm not walking enough.
