Miss seeing your post sweetpea! How ya doin?

I could have sworn I answered you back. It probably did not go through. Anyway,

I am great!!

How are you? I know this is the hardest part of recovery. It can be a trial mentally too, but you are sounding great. Keep up the good work!

How are you feeling now? Healing ok?

Keep it slow,

Sweetpee

3 weeks out still have two drains for one more week. Somehow I split my back open about an inch, so that put me back to like the first week of not doing anything for the next two weeks. Except now I feel great and want to do stuff. Overall I'm doing good how's your progress going!

I am feeling great!

My body is no longer sore, but it took me 8 months to get to this point. I know, that is a long time, but in the beginning I took it very slow, and stayed in bed as much as possible. It is the worst, knowing you have a million things to do, but can't. Smile.

[skiddles 66]

Glad your doing better. I can't wait to get to your point!

Glad your doing better. I can't wait to get to your point!

Healing takes time, and I know for me, it took me longer than most, because I am a slow healer. But I finally got there and you will too. Just take this time to relax, put your feet up and enjoy doing as less as possible. Smile!!!

4 week update-Thought I'd be back to work by now, but I still have 2 tubes and a deep hole in my back. The real bummer is I tried to get into a pair of my jeans and couldn't get them up! I almost sat and cried. I'm bigger now than I was when I went in! Hope its all swelling. For sure the tubes are coming out Monday, or I'll pull the damn things out my self!

I am sure it is all swelling. Things are going to get better. Hang in there! All will heal with time.

Yeah! Both and final tubes came out today! Back and front are healing! I can take a shower and drive! Still no bending or doing anything to make me sweat. It was weird not having tubes I ended up pulling my underwear up over my belly. They look like granny pants. I still have a lot of swelling and dr said not to be upset over not being able to fit into my jeans. So all and all it's a good day and I don't feel so down in the dumps today!

Doc put me on high dose of Iron last week. Since then I can't sit still. So I'm looking for stuff to do. Still can't bend all the way over. I'm now an expert at picking things up with my toes and keeping a pair of long tongs handy! How ya doin?
