At home coming around slowly but surely

Sep 17, 2009

UPDATE:  I finally had my surgery 8/14 everything went well as to be expected.  The only problem I had was with the hospital staff at Baptist they are very very lazy. I pretty much did everything for myself getting out of bed, unhooking my IV from the wall plugging it back up, I gave myself a shower alone the list goes on etc. the only thing I didn't do for myself was give meds.  The pain was excruciating I was literally in tears by the end of the night on day 2 my back was killing me. I asked the Dr. to discharge me so that I could go home being that I was caring for myself anyways, so I got home yesterday 9/16  only to realize that I left my pursue thanks to family they drove back to Columbia to get it. Keep in mind I also packed all my stuff up myself. If I had the help from the staff someone could've rechecked my room while I was still there to make sure that I packed everything. Dr. Prickett and Judy stuck checked on me daily to make sure I looked good my incision site looks awesome I was very pleased once I looked at them.
 

Once I got home I was so relieved I slept like a baby the back pains continued off and on but other than that I'm getting all my protein in as I should. Tomorrow I will go out walking for an hour just to start some type of exercise program until I heal completely enough to hit the gym.
