Thanks guys for all the support. When I talked about the feeling of a brace it was not an outer brace like my previous surgery, but the feeling of my insides being in that body brace 23 hours a day like when I was a kid.
I have to say that even with the pain my back feels strong but at times my neck feels like a bobble head. Does that sound funny or what?
I still have no appetite but am living on Ed's smoothies and a few slices of beef throughout the day to keep nutrients in my body.
I took my first car rid yesterday to my work to have my left foot checked out. It has been in pain since surgery so I just wanted to make sure there was no stress fracture due to the positioning of the long surgery. Luckily it was just a strain from the position, which I thought but wanted to be safe than sorry. The drive was 45 minutes and for the most part I was okay just slightly uncomfortable.
When did most of you get used to walking without the walker? I feel like it is my crutch and did not know if I should try some steps without or if it is still too early.
I am managing the pain for the most part. It's not 100% gone but it is bearable. I wear out fast. I can make my smoothie (only because no on else in the house makes it the way I like it) but by the time it's blended I'm lying down and someone else is pouring it and bringing it to me.
After my last surgery I could sit on anything. This time I can't find a chair that works. Any advice on what kind to look for because I'm tired of always lying down.
I guess I have read your eyes out enough so I shall let you all go for now! Till next time!
