I have not been around on the computer much because it hurts me to sit and type too long but wanted to give an update on things. I am still in pain and tomorrow I go and get my staples out. The back spasms are the worst especially because if I am off my med schedule they get bigger and bigger until I can hardly breathe. I have also been dealing with major depression since surgery and have been crying everyday and I was not expecting that and I am even on antidepressant so I thought that would have fixed it. I put pics up of my incisions and and stuff on my profile page and I also did that on my facebook because many of my friends were acting like this surgery was not a big deal when in fact it is major surgery. My teachers finally agreed to let me make up all my work next semester so that way I can really rest and heal and that was like an early birthday present for me I was very relieved because I worked very hard all semester up until the surgery. I have been staying at my mom's house and my grandma has been taking care of me, tonight I am going back to my house and then have my staples appointment in the morning. I am excited to see my kitty since its been over a week that I have been home. I am still hardly eating and when I try to eat I get very sick. I am on tons of meds too and my mom has to help me remember the schedule. I also have to sleep with the heating pad on my stomach because it constantly hurts and is messed up. I hate how when you have surgery it seems to make your normal health problems worse and act up I really need to go lay down now but just wanted to give a quick update. Still waiting to get my stim turned on and it probably won't happen until my follow up appoinment with him which is in a few weeks 4 or 5 but hopefully they will keep me on pain meds until it is turned on at least! I am thinking of all of you and hope that you are all doing okay. Take care 'sTara
