Re: 5 Days post-op L5-S1 Fusion Hi Kimberly,There's no place like home.....there's no place like home.....
You're certainly right about that! We are counting the days, or nights rather. I'm extremely grateful for this apartment, I wouldn't have been able to do this without it, but I don't understand why they would put beds this hard anywhere where people are trying to recuperate from anything!!! I have the memory foam, but my poor sister only got a small 1" foam thing and she is really suffering. 11 more nights....
Hi Linda,
11 more nights... we leave on Dec. 4th. Fly to Salt Lake and then drive for 6 hrs. Hopefully no storms. The dr. appt went well, but no x-ray until a month after I get home. He was very pleased with the progress and said that if my leg pain is that much relieved I should do very well. I'm feeling pretty good about things right now. Just taking my time with it all, and I'm very lucky my sister has been here through it all to help me. I agree with you about the yoga pants! They are wonderful! And they aren't sweats, which I hate to wear out in public.
I'm so sorry you are sick again. I'm sure you are right and it's the kids continually giving you germs. Maybe you can wear a mask while there? Might look silly, but maybe keep you well.
