sleeping is very hard to get. Its amazing how much you use your neck muscles to lie down. So I propped myself in the corner of my couch.
I talked with my nurse this am. My throat is sore because of the tube that was in there. She mentioned the real pain will start tomorrow in my shoulder blades, back of my neck area. So it is most important to take the pain med every 4 hours. When she first started with Dr. Steiman 19 years ago they would keep patients for 10 days. That got my attention. Mostly soft foods, Ice cream apple sauce stuff that slides down easy. Ocean spray cran-apple is very tasty and keeps the kidneys clean. I have to take short walks a couple times a day to prevent blood clots. when they handed me a cd and said these were my films I thought they were of the surgery, sorry just the mri scans. I could post a picture of my scar. It is a real beauty. I will not need a costume for holloween. lolAgain thank you all for your kindness, thoughts and prayers. patrick

Hold out for a sponge bath, make sure it's the good looking nurse, not the fullback on the night shift...
 Take care of yourself, the projects will all be here when you get back! |

I found after my low back surgery walking as much as I could helped. Didn't seem so in the short run (20' would wipe me out) but it keeps scar tissue from forming.
Oh and DEMEROL ask for it by name

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
