Hi friends,
For those of you that don't remember, I am recovering from disc surgery on my neck. It was done the afternoon of the 30th.
I stayed overnight & went home the next morning.
I was violently ill from the anesthesia & threw up the first 3 days at home.
Plus, I hurt like you know what! But...I lost 5 lbs that week. What a way to lose it, though!
Now, my surgeon wants to look at my arm & shoulder. After I heal from this surgery.
I've been telling him it hurt for months. Drs never listen. He thinks that is a new problem. Not exactly!
GRRRRRR! Anyway, I'm still pretty weak, but I am out of the woods.
I want to give a big shout out to AMI. She was the only one who kept sending me PM's wondering how I was doing. Thank you, Ami, you are a peach!
Oh, BTW, my NMother is acting pretty nice, (for her), but she's also acting crazy. For example: I told her my surgery was July 30th. I told her 5 times.
Well, she happened to call my cell looking for me while I was in the hospital. My husband answered & told her what was going on & she argued with him & said "What do you mean she's in the hospital!" She CAN'T be in the hospital, her surgery is AUGUST 30th!" My husband said no, it was yesterday & she really gave him a hard time!
Then she swore I told her my arms were in a cast! What I told her was that the surgeon had to grab my arms & pull my spine into place to line the disc up properly & that they were going to be very sore for a couple of weeks, but no mention of a cast. Then in another call, she told me my throat was sore because of the surgery tube. I told her that I had no such tube, but that they moved my esophagus over to get to my disc & that's why I couldn't eat solid food. She argued with me about that! I think she's going mad!
I just gave up & let her talk. I'm just glad she's hundreds of miles away, so she can't come in person.
Anyway, I'm glad to feel better & be back on the board!
Love,
Bigalspal
