My Update - Home

[Flagryl]

I came home today as they kept me an extra night in hospital to make sure the meds were working. They had a hard time getting my pain under control when I was in recovery Thurs afternoon. But, they gave me morphene through IV and transitioned me to oral meds this morning. Also working w/nausea patch and meds. And, I eat half a Luna bar beforehand.

But, get this. My 91 yr old friend who works out at the gym w/me was there for her lumbar. We had a sleep over at FMC! I walked around the corner to her room yesterday. All 5 adult children were there. On alert since she's 91, but she's rockin' it after some minor lumbar surgery. I just love this woman and she was so surprised to see me, though she knew I was having cervical surgery, which got moved up because of my surgeon's schedule. Janet's doc is also excellent and came out of retirement to operate. It's a small town but we have some internationally acclaimed physicians here because they like to live here.



My doc only fused C 4-5-6 and not 7. No neck brace. Feels good to be home. Thanks Huronna for staying in touch w/John.

You have to be kidding, that lady can’t possibly be 91 years old.
She has some terrific genes

Just came to check while I have a break at work and glad to see you are here, not rockin and rolling yet, but soon to be.

Was glad to talk to John and hear things were going well.

Tonight is my last weekend to work, woo hooo, let’s celebrate!

Janet is amazing, we call her "muscles" at the gym. She broke 2 femur bones 3 yrs ago and came back with even more PT dedication. She's a good mentor.

You both look fantastic...did you really have surgery? It's good to see you Flagryl and best wishes for everything to settle down well.

I did have the cervical surgery Silk, but he only fused 3 vertabrae not 4. Can't believe how well I'm doing, have already lengthened the pain meds from 4 to 5 hours. And, both of us slept through the night after getting up twice...we went back to sleep. I get to shower and wash my hair this afternoon. So glad I've been doing Pilates exercises for so many years, don't need to hold on to anything getting up from chair. My knees rock!
