dear berylyboo

may i also suggest that you have
someone with you during your stay at the hospital
all suggestions expressed are to be taken seriously
each one of us behave differently
however what is recommended is from
personal experiences
i cannot stress more than ever
do not do ANY lifting, pulling, pushing with your legs foot
none of that stuff
taking a shower i did with a stool
have your phone with you at all times
take your med when told
give yourself a break
if you have someone taking care of you the better
eat keep your strength up
ice packs warm bottles which ever feels best
and take your temp. regularly
i am still recovering from my 2nd surgery
acdf 5/5-6/7 failed at fusing
plate 1st, cage added with additional cadaver
2nd surgery april 15th this year
don't be frightened if that support team
is all on the same page
make sure NO MISCOMMUNICATIONS ALLOWED
I WISH YOU ALL THE SUCCESS THAT COMES FROM A GOOD JOB WELL DONE
and as minimal pain as possible
with much concern
