Miserable today afterwards, but if it's like the left side the discomfort should plateau about five days in and then I'll get some serious improvement around day 10. Been sleeping really good, able to stand up straighter, able to sit up on the bed/couch much straighter with barely any pain in the section they worked on. Shoulders/arms/wrist/fingers and lower back are still problems. Sitting in a chair, riding in the car, and typing too much...also still problems.
Realistically, I might be able to manage some editing of what I already have in May followed by some dictation of new material. Hopefully...more, but...realistically...
I'm sure I'll be having a post op pretty soon. Yet again hopefully about what part of my spine they want to target next. Higher up would be my preference, since that's where all the important bits are...not that walking without cramps and spasms in my legs isn't, but...the hands let me write and that's what I'll always put first.
I've found a sliver of relief and I'm greedy for more!
I'm glad to hear that you're getting treatment. It sounds incredibly painful but at least there's light at the end of the tunnel that things should get better. Wishing you all the best!
