Hi Nan, how are you getting on? I was just thinking of you.
I hope all is ok and you are now beginning to feel the benefits of your buzzing implant, is it working ok for you? The surgical pain is still there & it will for a while, but I hope you're feeling better,

Best wishes

still kickin...
 

hey peeps, lying here in bed listening to the inviting sound of my husbands "love call", better known as snoring, (lol). Just wanting you all to know i'm hanging in there while trying to stay focused and positive. I'm going to change my nickname to Energizer Bunny, cause i keep going and going and going. Let me know what yall think. Ok, its no picnic being dependant upon others, even when they don't mind. My family is being wonderful, caring and supportive, its MY OWN HANG UP, but i like doing for myself, and right now i'm totally needy. YOU ARE UP TO DATE...:) That's all Folks!

Too much! :ROTFLMAO:
Nan, I see that your husband and mine have gone to the same institute majoring in the art of Honorary Love-Calling. :D
Mine even got the highest academic achievement for the gifted prodigy, as he carries the unmatched ability to simulate a BUZZSAW :eek: :thud:

Rrae, my hubby snores so loud, i could do an extensive examination of his tonsils, "Say Aww", i mean it gets pretty loud n bad. Oh, if it wasn't for love. :p

Hi Nan, Hi Rae,
My wondeful hubby is exactly the same, keeps me awake way too much.
Nan, I was exactly the same as you, am the same as you, I like to do stuff for myself too, even stuff I shouldn't do, thankfully I have loads of family help and i'd rarely just ask them for help.
Good to hear you are recovering from your surgery, take your time...

take care,

a quick update...
 

i am still hanging in there, this last few days has enabled me to take short walks in my driveway accompanied by family, 2 outdoor excursions with minimal difficulties, and a great brunch with my hubby. i am being extremely cautious 'cause it is easy to forget our core rules for recovery. everyday as i feel a lil stronger, i also feel a lot of numbness in back and side, wierd annoying twinges, even mild spasms in my legs, and post op pain near both incisions. it aint all green grass, wine and roses, but i'm gettin there..."slow n steady".
thanks my peeps. :)

Hello Energizer Bunny
 

So.... you are up and walking.... that is good, very good. Time will produce more and more of the Energizer effect..... so would you like a bass drum to beat as you Energize around on your walks?:D

Moderation is good, overdoing it has consequences only your body can teach you. Be good to thyself, Energizer Bunny.

2 weeks
 

oh you are soooo right. even a few extra steps here or there and you pay. it has now been 2 weeks, i'm feelin' better, stronger, faster. i know though that this its a process and too much too soon will set you back. my daughter has returned home now so days are just me and me dog. he watches over me as close as my kids and hubby. my twinges of pain come and go but with no real consistency, i think my body is just trying to sort things out. i will continue to move forward, slow and steady and thanks you guys for the wealth of information, because of you, nothing caught me by surprise. Nan b.K.a "E.B" :wink:
