I am on pain medicine for which I didn't know how grateful I would be for that. I will update again when I'm home. I'm hoping for a happy & healthy recovery from here  |
Thats great news!!!!! ---throat will take a few days eat soft foods--honest i still get numbness in finger tips but im use to it ---doesnt stop me from doing anything. Now its very important no lifting anything heavier then a gallon of milk ---if your recovery is like mine fatigue will be a battle for several weeks. Take it easy and let people pamper you. Are you getting a neck brace? Im just glad the worst part is finally behind you.
