Rumba Rue Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 The pain that I experianced prior to surgery is completely gone! I can walk normal and I have only a tiny bit of pain from the surgery...oh and the still numb foot. Went for my post-op check-up and even the doctor was amazed! So there will be no need for physical therapy or any kind of waist brace. The Doc said it's rare that a person would recover from such a surgery so quickly! He said everyone he'd worked on took months of rehabilitation and had lots of pain. I swear! I have no pain! Just a wee bit here and there! The fusion should heal in about six months and by eight months I should be completely complete! I tell you, I myself was ready for a long recovery and lots of pain and holy barrels of rum, I'm cured! Ok maybe not entirely...we won't talk about the boo-boo's I've made. This is a lot for me to take in and it still hasn't really hit me yet just how this happened. But I'll take the miracle the Great Goddess has given me. Shari/Rumba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Syren Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Rumba that is so AWESOME!!!!!!

Rumba Rue Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 No, no jumping for me, only walking. I'm not allowed to do anything more than walking (and at this stage that's all I can do), no heavy lifting, no jacuzzi's or hot tub baths for a month - showers with warm not hot water are ok. The bandage is off and what's left is 'glue' that was used to close me up...no stitches....the glue will flake off on it's own as I heal. I tell you I'm just absolutely stunned by the power of prayer by all of you and the true magic that has really happened! Since I came home from the hospital, for the first few nights after going to sleep I would see this red rose opening up constantly, then last night I clearly saw a Dove in flight! I am so filled with happiness it's truly a life changing event for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
