Hi. I'm glad you have some things in the work and you talked to your husband. I know for me after I was in bed basically for 4 months my legs were like jello and very painful. I had a hard time walking to the bathroom. I have gradually builded and though I have a lot of pain now can take a 20 minute walk. Its been many months and for me and not saying you but walking through crying pain. Make sure to follow the advice of your doc though. I know for me because the pain was so bad I tried to stay off of it but I guess in my case made things worse. I had to try and this is still a process to trust what they were telling me and push through the horrible pain. I was wondering and I know you said your not close with your siblings but if you still could ask them? I'm sorry about your grandchild and that is quite a thing for you to do to take her in. I can't imagine with your pain and finances. Can anyone help with that? Where do you live out of curiosity cause maybe someone here could have a referal for you. Hang in there
