Yesterday, I was one day shy of being 1 month post-op. I feel like I've been doing really well walking laps inside and on a few nice days, walked quite a bit with my walker and husband outside. When I walk my laps, I take my walker, but if it's just a brief walk from the dining room to the bedroom, I don't use it because i want to practice swinging my arms naturally and I'm very steady on my feet.(I thought)
I just had breakfast and took my pills (I'm still on oxycotin) and walked to the bedroom, briefly looked at my Ipad, and then headed to the bathroom for a shower. I got really llight headed and grabbed the doorway. The next thing I knew, I was on the floor. My husband was in the hallway and helped break my fall. I didn't feel any pain other than hitting my head. My biggest worry was that I did something to mess up one of the screws. Dr. Lenke's office didn't seem as concerned as I was and didn't request any new xrays.
I am just so disppointed that I am not as indedpendent as I thought I was at this point. I just can't believe I blacked out adter a month of doing well.
