Hi,
I am five months post op from a long fusion, l6 to s2. I am still in pain and weak, but I am getting better. I have the impression that everyone thinks I should be well and over it already. I will never be over it, but why I will never be over it can't be explained. It has to be lived. I know that given time I will become adjusted to it, be used to it, but I am not there yet. So when do you get to the point that your feelings aren't hurt when you know you are being "tuned out" when you mention it? And how do you go about not needing to mention it? I know I could walk away, but I'd just run into him again at bedtime when we go to bed. We have been married 42 years and he's really been a great nurse. I don't really want to make an issue of this, that won't make it better. Or maybe I am just being to sensitive to what I perceive to be others feelings?
