Hi Tara, and thank you for taking part of your precious energy to report. You are definitely going to hurt for a while. Remember, you not only had the bad stuff and scarring removed, but the new put in. Muscles had to be retracted to the side, bone had to be removed for your paddles in addition to the removal of the stuff that did not work.

I remember after fusion surgeries, that pain was like I was being pulled apart for many weeks after the surgery every time I moved. Doc said, "well, we had to scrape the muscle off of the bone, draw it back, remove bone, and such." Most of what you are probably feeling is angry muscles, and they will calm, they will calm. I am praying that they will calm and you will have peace and healing so you can get that butt buzzer going.

Remember you are one VERY STRONG LADY with a strong Jerry alongside you and, oh yes, God, too. You will pull through this. I am praying for you for sure!

Hugs z,
