6 week update

Originally posted 2020-02-28 09:00:00. Had my 6 week back surgery appointment this week. So far it looks like everything is healing like it should be. My nerves that were previously compressed have seemed to start healing. I am unable to tell which nerves were affected versus weren’t affected. Where I stated before that I had started to have numbness on the top of my foot where it previously was more on the bottom. The doctor…

Late reaction

Originally posted 2020-02-06 08:00:00. Yeah, this could have turned out so different lol. I get up yesterday morning like any other morning. The exception, the dogs groomer would be here in a few minutes. I go outside to move my car and pull it behind my truck. The groomers mobile vehicle isn’t a small vehicle so I wanted to give her the room in the driveway. Since my husband didn’t get home from work until…

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…

Worried Tears

Originally posted 2020-01-13 18:00:01. I have back surgery in the morning. 5:30am check-in. I could use your prayers. This is my 25th (or 26th I lost count) surgery and I am more nervous about this one than any of them. Maybe it’s me getting older or the fact that I buried my dad Nov 2017, my mom June 2018, my husband’s dog Charlie Feb 2019, & just a couple of weeks ago my nephews CJ…

Sinus Sunday

Originally posted 2020-01-12 09:20:06. Here it is Sunday, January 12th 2020. It’s raining, stormy, thunder and lightening (just not very very frightening, lol) … and I am T- minus 2 days until surgery. I am on the merge of insanity because I can’t take certain medications prior to surgery. The rainy weather just makes it worse. The pressure from sinus issues and not being able to take meds for it. I normally am the person…

Is it or is it not?

Originally posted 2021-06-07 16:39:09. I have an appointment in the morning for the results of my sinus ct scan! Wish me luck! Now if they would hurry up with the ct scan of my pelvic/abdominal area… They found some spots when they did my ultrasound so the doc sent out for ct scan. Just waiting for them to call and set up the appointment for that. I feel like I’m gonna glow by the time…

Dry skin ain't in

Originally posted 2020-01-10 10:00:49. Ok, now that you’ve seen this… Have you ever even heard of it? I found this stuff while watching QVC before Christmas. I love this stuff!! I really do! I use the soap in the shower and just washing my hands! I have honestly used it twice to wash something off my face. This stuff suds so well even with hard water. It’s extremely moisturizing and I don’t automatically feel like…

Yesterday’s Pain

Originally posted 2021-06-03 08:56:32. I had an appointment with a massage therapist yesterday. This is the second time I have seen this therapist. She worked on alot of areas but also worked on the massive amount of scar tissue in my abdomen. She worked on it so much I have had to lather my abdomen with my cbd massage melt and my cbd muscle rub. 😩 This is pretty much the first time someone has…
