Thanks Babs, I forgot how painful this part was. But 3 incisions and

my fusion one is almost 5 inches long are really

SORE!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to finally take a nice HOttt shower

today and feel somewhat normal again. The hospital gave me a walker

this time instead of wanting me to use my cane. Which I thought they

should have done last time but they said they didn't. It makes it a

lot easier to get around and feel like I have some support to get up

and down with. Doorways, rugs and cats are interesting to go over

though my kitties are scared to death of it and RUN before I even

get close to them Just praying this time it works so far pretty

good. Taking it one week at a time for now, with my track record

seems like the best way to go. Thanks again Sharon Group Owner

Thanks Babs and Izabel, my kitties have quit running so fast it was

just weird and new to them. Although they still stay out of my way

which is fine I DO NOT WANT to take a fall. It will take weeks for

the bones to start to heal even 6-8 wks of taking it very easy which

will be tough for me but I am determined to give this the best shot

to work I am not going thru this again. At least for now my nerve is

NOT HURTING at all and for that I am thanking God each day, its been

years since it didn't hurt at all. Although I expect some pain

eventually because I know it maybe damaged after being squished so

long but MAYBe I will be lucky and #3 on my back was good luck. Now

if I could get the itching to stop I'd be happy. I forgot last time

I was allergic to the tape they used on me during surgery, well I am

paying for that my that my mouth swellled up from the tape and the

adhesive on my back is driving me insane. Going to call the dr in

the a.m. see what he has to say cause if it doesn't stop soon I am

going to rip the skin on my back to shreds its itching that bad I

WILL NOT FORGET if I ever have another surgery or trip to the

hospital again, Geeezzzz:( stupid thing to forgetNow where did I put

that benadryl cream .................. off to look. Sharon Group

-Yep it is Babs up the walls I have scrubbed as much as I could get

off twice already and still itching like crazy. NO hospital is EVER

taping me up AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nope no brace but I thought about

getting a support one to use, going to ask the dr about that too.
