I hesitate to say this (KNOCK ON WOOD) but I'm feeling really good lately. And I think it has a LOT to do with the fact that I'm back at my exercise class 2x a week. Since I started work at the end of May, I've been exhausted--too tired to force myself to go to exercise for the first month or two. Plus the stress of the job had my back spasming up like crazy. Lately I've been getting more used to the routine. For the last month, I've gone to my class 2x a week, plus walking a few times per week. I'm feeling GREAT! I think just getting myself moving, and those muscles back there stretched out, has me doing really good.
This is a reason I can't stop now. My husband has even commented on how good he thinks I'm doing. The other night I was bending into the fridge, looking for God knows what. I wasn't even thinking about what I was doing. He couldn't believe that I was able to be in that position without even noticing that I was uncomfortable.
I'm just about at my 11 month mark. I forget who told me how much improvement they had from 9-18 months--was it Ed? I'm really starting to believe it. Sometimes I totally forget that I'm not 'normal.' That makes me so happy.
Thanks for listening to me brag. I guess I'm proud of myself. I can only hope that this will inspire someone who is still waiting for their surgery. I know how much these types of stories helped me when I was waiting.
