I am 6 weeks out from surgery.
I had 2 discs removed along with my old hardware. He added 2 bone grafts *, 2 titanium plates, and 8 screws.
*(please consider organ and tissue donation, you never know who you might help to live a better life!)
My scar is hideuous. I hope it fades quickly. At least when winter comes I can wear scarves and turtlenecks.
And oh the bills! We have a high deductible and copay, but thank God for insurance!
Overall, I feel terrible. I am exhaused all the time. I can honestly say I have never felt as crappy - physically- as I do now. I don't sleep well and pain is difficult to control, tylenol doesn't do it and I don't want to take the prescription stuff they gave me. That was fine for a few days after surgery, but not for everyday.
It will get better, I know that, I am just ready to be better now.
