I can not believe it has been 10 years. 10 years from waking up in the hospital being in the worse pain I have ever felt in my life. That is saying something when I had 3 child births. Ethan's was the far worse of the 3. Ashleigh's second then Noah's. With Ethan, I had screws in my spine.
When life gets bad or painful, I say to myself "I have been through worse" which to me is referring to December 10, 2007. The day of my back surgery. Where I received 4 screws (2 on each side). When I woke up from the surgery, the pain down my right leg was unbearable. I will never forget that pain. I had to do PT on my foot. There was a time where I was not able to drive. The PT saved me.
A few years later I was injured and the right lower screw was bent. Each time I injured my back we check on that screw to make sure it is still stable.
Now I am dealing with arthritis in the surgery site along with some scaring. Each morning I wake up stiff and it is due to the arthritis. I have to do exercises and PT. I need to find a light yoga class, too. PT will start sometime after the first of the year. Probably February or early March.
Have a good day! Melissa
