Post op day 2 - Spinal Cord Disorders Message Board

Don't feel to good today, only day 2. Some old pains still around, tight throat, little voice. Keep taking my meds and rest. Doc said may need steroid shot in throat for voice, lets hope not.

Sorry to hear you are not feeling great BDW.
How super of you to at least find the time to let us know.......here's hoping that with some rest you will be feeling wonderful in no time. Until then, take care 'cause we care!

BDW,

I'm sorry you're not having a good day, but as my doctor reminded me, it's only been a few days so don't be too hard on yourslf. You are going to start to get better at an ever increasing rate.

Some of those old pains will linger for a little while. My voice was intermittent for a week or so and had even changed very slightly. Last week a friend told me I once again sounded normal. Well my voice at least.

Sending some healing energy your way.

I hope you are able to get some sleep. Rest up.

Bruce

Hi BDW,
Sorry to hear you are not feeling too well, but don't be too hard on yourself too fast. Your voice may take a bit before it comes back, but the chances are overwhelming that it will. Take good care of yourself or get someone who will, and try to get lots of sleep. I know it'll be elusive, but try to find it! Know that we are here rooting for you- (looking for truffles and what-not) and hoping for better news in a few days.
