Hi everyone, my set back has now lasted for a week,it so sucks. I watched video of the surgery on u tube this weekend to humble myself. It worked I'm just so mad at myself, and now I don't know how to tell if I'm over doing it because I felt great when this happened.
Today I can walk with less pain,I haven't needed pain meds for the second day. I talked to my Dr.'s PA today and had her extent my return to work to the 5-16 instead of 5-2. I so hate this, i need to go back to work I'm by myself and the only income.I think I can swing 2 more weeks.
I let my job know that I may need a crutch/ cane to get into the building, I walk about 8 blocks to get to the area I work at. I have not at this point been able to stand and walk small distance yet for 8 hrs. There is no light duty at my job.I feel like such a loser.
I had no choice, I had to have this surgery,I couldn't walk or enjoy myself,so I have no regrets. But I have lost my patience. Deep down I know its going to get better but the weather in Cleveland has been in the 70's and 80's and I can't do anything I'm afraid to " over do it" I 'm just watching all this yard and barn work pile up and take more time to get it done.
I wished I healed better,now I'm gaining weight which really isn't helping. So advise don't over do it. Thanks for letting me vent again,I know o need to stop this
