Postop morning number one from my fusion doing well if i could just remember not to bend my neck too far each direction! It’s so hard to not look down. LOL. Welcome to a free streaming post what is the effect of muscle relaxer and pain medicine of which I am trying to take minimal because I really want to poop before I leave.  Last antibiotic is rolling in hopefully I’ll see a medical professional such as a doctor or a PA I haven’t seen one of those since the PACU. šŸ™ that’s a little bit of a pet peeve of mine even for these crazy busy neurosurgeons.  I really tried to go by and see patients tonight or in the morning after no matter what but sometimes things come up and that’s OK—they have such long days. Maybe once he sees me, he’ll@pull the JP, and I can be DCd!!!! Turns out not all docs are bad patients. I try to follow directions exactly but I ask a lot of questions and like a lot of detail and over follow directions because I want to make progress as fast as allowable— so I try not to give docs a bad rep as patients, but I do push myself within the bounds of safety and medical advice. Of course there’s always the fun stuff you can do like blue Chapstick and ice pack on your forehead before they check your vitals but these guys were too crazy busy for any fun like that. Right now the plan is for everybody to see and thoughts and prayers for the grafts to heal solidly in quickly, for the nerve axons to regenerate over the next few months and for the muscle atrophy to reverse with a lot of therapy so that I am more symmetrical eventually. I wouldn’t mind running a four minute mile after all this but I couldn’t before so šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚. One last piece of wisdom is that I made myself content over the last few weeks with the losses that I encountered as far as sensory deficits and muscular mass & strength. If nothing more returns I will be content tho disappointed. Each new situation life brings you (physically, mentally, emotionally) simply sets a start point for your new challenges and goals which must be overcome or we are defeated. I’ve got some amazing #gymspirations who’s motivation and determination are a wake up call to me!! I tagged you; thank you!!
