Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 Hi Everyone, Okay, so now I'm 5 weeks post-op from being de-tethered on April 5th and drug complications at North Shore w/TCI docs. Is it still normal to be exhausted? Am I expecting too much of myself? I started back to work part-time (4 hours) last week. Thought I should move up to 6 hours this week and now it's Friday and I'm home today not working because I'm extremely tired and have a headache! I guess I expected to be able to do more by now. I have been able to work out on an eliptical machine for 10-15 minutes 3 times a week. It seems to help w/keeping the muscles loose and not have that tightening of the muscles in the mid-upper back happen. I can't remember how long I was out of work after the decompression surgery in 2002 but it didn't seem to be the exhausting. . . probably cause I'm 4 years older (ha!ha!). I need to laugh at something! Let me know what you guys think!
