Re: More Back Surgery Headed My Way...

Bed rest, bed rest, and more bed rest. I hate resting lol. But I hate the pain the recovery has brought. The pain I am experiencing is just from the procedure itself and nothing that went wrong.
I have for the most part been off my feet since the operation. Drugged up on pain pills and muscle relaxers just to get through the day. The pain I would get prior to this surgery is virtually non existent, however, I have been introduced to these new pains which makes it difficult to lie down and recover, as well as try and walk to the restroom with my walker and back brace on.
However things look promising and I look forward to trudging through this recovery one day at a time.
Thursday I have my 2 week checkup with my doctor, to see how the hardware of the fusion is setting. And then I have a bunch of other appointments in my future after.
The one thing though, is no rehab. I am functioning just fine and will recover as time allows.
I can only sit down for up to 15minutes, so I will have to update with more later, but thank you guys again for being very supportive.
I will keep you folks updated daily as to what happens.
