Surgery Update #1

I've been home since last Friday but I am just now getting the chance to post because I have just become able to sit in the office chair. My back is very tender and somewhat sore , but I am not in pain. Pills keep everything well controlled and I am doing great. I am definitely able to deal with sore and I expect to have to for awhile. I have to wear a brae but because I am tender at the moment we are adding 30 minutes of time everyday until I get up to 16-18 hours a day. It sucks. The brace is hot and uncomfortable but I will deal. Everyone has been so helpful. I have gotten so many wonderful presents and meals. Mom has really appreciated the help. I should be back at church on Sunday. Yea!!! I am finally able to get out of the house. Yesterday Mom and I went to Kohl's and she had to push me around in the wheel chair because I couldn't walk that long of a distance. It was great to be out, though. I can't wait o see everybody and to get back to my normal routine. It will truly be a blessing. It will take some time though. Mainly because or six weeks I cannot bend so I need Mom's help for lots of things. She has been terrific! That's all for now. I will post more later.
