Way to go Sarah! It is hard to believe how much further ahead we all are after just 4 weeks compared to 6 months ago! Getting your hands on those babies will be a highlight for sure!

Big smile reading how far you’ve come!! It just keeps improving.

Fantastic news! isn't it great to be driving again! be careful not to overdo it. I seem to almost every day so am cancelling somethings so I slow down a bit. Overdoing it sucks. Congratulations!

 

[SarahBee]

Thanks, @lotusbuds Yes, it is sweet to be progressing to normal adult things! I noticed my thigh was rather achy last night so took a Tylenol before bed. I think my driving may have caused that bit. All better today, other than a bit stiff but still taking it easier.

Having some incredible low back spasms right now.
I'm waiting for my husband to get home so we can walk. If that doesn't take care of it, I'll try a heating pad.

 

[SE Florida]

That sounds painful! Maybe husband can massage it a bit before the walk.....or give the heating pad a try now? Hope something helps you soon!!!

 

[SarahBee]

Went for a short walk. Have dinner almost ready. Will see how this works out.

 

[SE Florida]

Are your back spasms gone? Eat and rest........

 

[Elf1]

Hoping the walk and heating pad do the trick. You've been doing great.

 

[SarahBee]

Not really, @SE Florida but have calmed a little. I think you're right tho, maybe I'm done for today.

Thanks, @Elf1 . I don't want to lose my momentum so think I'll tske it easy now

 

[SE Florida]

Good @SarahBee it's for the best to take it easy. Tomorrow will be a better day.

Hi My friend.
Welcome to your reality check.
It's the only real way we know what is too much too soon ...I did it the same way, the hard way.

It never hurts until see stop.
Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.
My two lessons I learned...then re-learned at least a few times.
Healing hugs...some babying should get you back on track!

@SarahBee
Edited the above...glad you got my gist.
Hips good...eyes need readers.

 

[SarahBee]

Bit of a restless night, I think. I recall being awake...a lot... But I must have slept because I remember waking as well. Today will be a day of taking it easy and letting my back settle down.

Today is also the final day of in home PT. will see the doctor on Tuesday and crossing everything that he doesn't order more outpatient PT. I think with my ROM, gait improvements, etc., he will let me do this myself!

 

[SarahBee]

Wishing everyone a wonderful day!

Good Morning
Sometimes I feel we actually sleep more than we think on those restless nights. My husband has said to me many times, "trust me, you were sleeping."
Taking the day easy sounds like the best medicine, Sarah. It doesn't take much activity, to sideline us momentarily in early recovery. Overall, I think you're doing really well.
I hope your last day of in home PT is an easy one.
Wishing you comfort today.

Hoping taking it easy & the heat pad helps... I’ve a hot water bottle affixed to my back... even if it doesn’t do anything.. it’s comforting!
Hope you have a much better day @SarahBee xc

Thanks, @Layla and @Hoppy Nanny

I'm hopeful today will work out the kin ks. And yes, heat is so comforting. I find on spasms that the warmth works better than ice. So ice on the front, heat on the back! It works!
