A few weeks
Originally posted 2022-05-03 16:45:53. As of today my surgery date has been set. It’s May 23rd. I have to do all the normal preoperative tests and what not. Then the Friday before the surgery, which is on a Monday, I have to stop by the surgeon’s office for them to mark me. I am not exactly sure what that means unless it is marking the area that will be fused. I am wondering if it…

Second post surgery update
Originally posted 2020-02-03 08:00:53. I am almost 3 weeks post surgery! YAY! Now I am almost halfway through the “not able to drive” stage. I feel like a hobbit, lol. I did go with my husband to the grocery store yesterday just so I could get out of the house some. My doctor’s office called Friday to check up on me. I have constant pain throughout my body so not feeling pain is kind of…

Making some progress
Originally posted 2020-01-27 17:09:32. It’s now been a couple of weeks since my back surgery. I have definitely made some progress but not as much as I’d like. Sometimes my own pride and determination get in the way and I do too much. Like today, I was looking for some of my replacement parts for my irobot vacuum and know I had them somewhere. So, I started moving this and that. Putting this here and…

Showerless Recovery
Originally posted 2020-01-17 18:29:33. As anyone knows during recovery from surgery you have limitations. One of which is taking a normal shower or bath. I was sent this box a few weeks ago and let me tell you, I am so glad I got it (so is my husband lol). I haven’t been able to take a shower but I needed to clean up somehow and standing up trying to wash myself up right now…

To B**** or Not to B****
Originally posted 2020-01-07 21:33:02. View this post on Instagram Ughh – a week from now I have the first of 2 surgeries in hopes they can fix some issues in my spine. I am starting to get nervous. This will be #surgery number 25 ( or 26 hell I am losing count lol) alot to some, a fraction to others. This surgery will help with my #spinalstenosis and decompress some areas in my spine. I…

TMI?
Originally posted 2023-03-02 14:22:38. Ok… warning for some this may be too much info for your liking. So… here I go. In the past couple weeks I have been having issues with several things. My left leg, groin, butt cheek, and top and bottom of my left foot. Then all of a sudden I started having issues with my bowels and bladder functions. My pain management doc had previously told me that if I had…

Physical start
Originally posted 2023-01-26 19:32:00. let me tell you something…. I started physical therapy yesterday and ughhh… the doc said I needed to do the “exercises” 5 out of 7 days a week. I know I had 2 back surgeries last year and my body reminded me of that too. I think my body from my last life sent a message too. I know I said previously that there is an upside to pain… just letting…

Cooling Roll-on
Originally posted 2023-01-26 10:33:26. I was sent several items for a review. Now I normally use my Massage Melt or Muscle Rub. But since my neck fusion and latestback surgery on Dec 29 I needed a little more pain juice lol. So now was the perfect opportunity to try some new products. This was a roll on so that was a definite plus since I don’t want to get the product on my computer keyboard.Even…

Struggle bus is loading
I know I am not the only one but I am going to rant anyway. I wear a size “whatever they feel good in” bra. The past several years I have been wearing the Spanx reversible bras because at one point they held them up good and it didn’t hurt my back or my neck. It seems like after covid something changed. I bought some over a year ago and they just didn’t hold my…
