Post 3 weeks post op, Not bad!

Hey guys!

I had a really good day today. Didn't need any pain meds until this evening! I sent Josh to day camp and then spent most of the day sitting on my butt. You heard it here first (Oh, okay, I did do one small load of laundry, but that was at 7 a.m.)

I am still having alot of the nerve shocks and definitely still have weakness in my left hand (dropping stuff alot), but I am really encouraged with my pain level finally going down.

YAHOO!!!

Go get my first postop x-ray next Monday. Hope I didn't shift anything in there with all my rambunctiousness.

Yahoo Lea,

Neck Neck Hurray!!

I am glad you have been taking it somewhat easy.
Remember, when the clothes are wet, right out of the washing machine, they are heavy!! It may take longer than normal to do a load, but, PLEASE! be careful.

Great news on the pain med aspect! I love it.

I too remain encouraged by your success! 3 weeks already! Wow!! Thanks for the update!

Stay strong! Stay Blessed! And stay here.
We need you. Have you noticed all the newcomers!!

Catherine
