It’s been hard. I have been truly on my own for about a week now, and it’s hard not to lift 10 pounds and walk more than you sit. It’s also amazing how much you use your left leg and left butt cheek in a day. Really – there are probably muscles in your butt cheek you don’t even know are there! I know they are there when I do something I apparently shouldn’t have. Whoo! It’s shocking – literally! Sends a shock right down to your piggy toe.
I see the surgeon on Monday, and I’m hoping they’ll grant me permission to travel again. Though, I’m not sure I’ll get my wish. I’ve had the worst pain since the surgery just in the last part of this week. Actually had to take a Vicodin on Thursday, and almost did today. Very odd…..was hoping to be pain-free right now. Granted, I have three bulging discs still, but I have lived with that and a ruptured one for a while! What’s the big deal?! Have been working from home for two months now (minus the three days I took off for the surgery)...getting a little cabin fever.
I’m doing alright though – spirits are up and I’m confident I’ll get better soon. Hopeful, anyway.
