Ok, I have had some issues that have kept me from writing on here.
First, I had a what we thought was a sciatica pinched nerve ATTACK is what I'll call it since I have never felt pain like this before. About 2 or 3 weeks ago. Sent me to the Er got 3 shots, and sent home with a follow up visit scheduled in the am with my Ortho, he admitted me back in, just for observation so the could do a cat etc, didn't see any impinged nerves. Ok...ended being there for 3 days.
Finally get back home,, then boom this past Friday, feeling great, have lost 10 of the 27 lbs I had gained !!!!!
My mom has been here the past 2 weeks helping ( always been either hubby mom or mine since surgery). I sit down for breakfast, and boom, it hits again. Just stabbing me over and over, all I can do is cry, my mom doesn't know what to do, I don't want to go sit at the "we'll call it the ER even thought no one cares if your screaming bloody murder", and wait 3 hours for a shot, so we are calling my dr, can't get ahold of him, so any on call dr will do. Finally my mom gives me one of my valume and an oxy, to calm me down, then in an hour a flexeril, my dr calls finally and says I don't know what to do, the cat looks fine, so it has to be spasms, but if your gonna stay home just try 800 mg of motrin, otherwise come back in to the hosp, right, where they will just drug me up, not find out what the problem is, and then I'll leave in the same shape I left in last time.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHH I am so frustrated. I am feeling pretty damn good except for those. I mean I still have to sleep in my hosp bed, laying flat in my bed don't cut it yet, but I don't need my walker at all, and I can do the treadmill, and some excersizes, although...thats another thing, Im carrying around this extra weight, yet he will not let me start PT yet. Its already been 7 weeks post op, granted 2 set backs, but I'm getting so antsy!, and I sat on the floor in my walk in bawling 2 weekends ago, cause I couldnt even get anything buttoned, NOTHING. I was so bloated from all the drugs, they had me on wayyyyyyyyyyy too much stuff. Ok thanks for letting me vent. ANyone else having these spasms? Love ya all.
