Monday Jan 14th - visit with Dr Bridwell went well
Tuesday 15th: travelled home (St Louis to Denver, Denver to San Diego (got an upgrade to 1st class free), rented a car and drove to El Centro about 2 hours).
Wed: dead in bed, slept until 4pm. Got up and went to Costco for the warehouse walk=around. Did not complete all the aisles.
Thursday: Car trip to San Felipe (2.5 hours) another brutal day but at least the Jeep was a bit more comfortable) Slept the day and part of the night.
Friday 4am took my last Vicoden pill. Have not required any narco but have taken about 4-6 Tylenols on and off. Still on Gabatin.
Sunday: walk for the first time all week. Outside on the dirt road to the back of some friend's house (little under 1/4 mile each way)
Can't sit much at all. Lots of black bruises along the spine as before the surgery caused internally when something got pulled etc. Otherwise, I am not in any major pain.
Had a great person called to bring us dinner (a great wonderful stew) and it was very neighborly and totally un-expected. We do have many more friends down here in San Felipe than back in the Bay area within minutes drive.
Thanks for keeping up. Not sure how often I will be updating this forum. I will make a caringbridge donation then quit.
Gardenia (have lots of xrays photos - can they be attached here?)
