I am overwhelmed by all of the kind responses I had to my post, regarding my surgery date. Amazing. Figured I'd better start a new post as there are so many replies to the other post.
I am hurting today...did a stupid thing yesterday...painted a small desk/table..I have to do some things...and this little job needed doing...BUT, wow, am I paying the price today. Also, trying to get my house all in order...which is causing me to move stuff etc. Again, not friendly positions for my back. I know we are not supposed to do stuff that makes us hurt, but I have to ..... gotta get this place into shape so I will not be tempted after surgery. On the other post, I mentioned my fear of not being able to get into the Tahoe after surgery..(won't be able to put weight on my right leg/side).. Well my husband and I did a test drive on that one yesterday. Took the walker and tried..really tried to get me into the tahoe, without using the right side...NOPE..not gonna happen. The closest thing that worked was taking a contractor's trash bag...and putting it on the rear bumper/bed of the Tahoe...and yeah, I finally got my body into the back of the truck... BUT, it was not comfortable = can't imagine that position after surgery. Guess we will have to rent a car to get me home. (I was still laughing about the ramp...mentioned in previous post). If this was a 10 min. ride home, well, I'd call a neigrabroador...but this is over an hr. from home, so we have to think how will we get me home. What a durab thing to worry about...getting into a vehicle...
I have to go and find something to help this back stop hurting...hope you all have a good day...take care.
