This sucks!

[Misanthropical]

Now that I am home from surgery I have my family buzzing around me doing things for me that I use to do on my own. It makes me feel like an undue burden on them since none of this is their fault. I tease them that I could get use to them waiting on me, but they know that would be a living hell for me.

I am getting better at the whole "don't fall over" thing.

Glad to see you back.

It's temporary. Ease yourself back as you're up to it.

Mis, I know the pain you are experiencing. I did not have the same level of back surgery that you had (mine was an L5-S1 laminectomy in which they removed the small portion of disc that was broken and pressing on the nerve in my lower back), but I can relate to the pain of wanting to get up and do things because you feel good. Trust me when I say don't push it...let the back recover on its own and you will be as good as new in no time! *hugs and good wishes...and a vicodin tree if you need it*

I have tried to do more than I should and have found out that it was a stupid move on my part. So, I have been trying to let my family do more things for me.

I had to see the physician assistant today to get the staples removed from the incision and had to wear Mr. Mis's shoes since my feet have ballooned up and I couldn't fit them in my own shoes. I have been told to put my feet up when I'm sitting or laying down.

I still have some weakness in my left leg, but it is getting better. Now the boys think it's funny to tell "yo mama fell over" jokes.

Just remind them that when you are all better, you plan on posting ALL the pics you took of them in diapers (and out!) lol

Keep getting stronger!
