At Home & Recovering

I made it home, it took about 5 1/2 hours, the ride wasn't too bad, I stopped every hour and stretched and walked. The first night home, I managed to sleep from 10:30 p.m. - 9:30 a.m. on one pain pill, so I was thrilled. I have to sleep on my side and then switch sides. I am in pain when I sit in one position for too long. I am following doctor's orders of not bending, twisting, picking anything heavy up, driving, etc...

I am thrilled to be home and see my kids. It was so nice just playing board games and watching television with them today. Lauren is getting used to me not picking her up, although she still asks with that big ol smile on her face, knowing the answer before she even asks me.

I go back for my post op appt. in a couple weeks, I am feeling pretty good so far. I don't know how much the surgery has helped me and I won't know that for some time. I don't want to push my recovery and end up undoing anything that has been fixed, so I am going to take it easy. I will post more if anything newsworthy comes up. I will post after my post-op appt. and after my MRIs that I have to get coming up, to make sure the cyst has not re-filled.
