That was almost seven years ago. Since then I've gotten progressively worse. My life is infinitely smaller than it was pre-surgery. Knowing what I know now, I would never have decided to have surgery in the first place. I thought I was bad pre-surgery, but I really had no idea of what bad really meant.

I hope your set-back is just temporary. Pay attention to your body if it's telling you that house cleaning is too much.

Good luck,
