I have so much to post and so much to say. I will do that over the next few days. I have a story about the "man I met." I have stories about some of the things that went on. I see that Irela has kept you all up to date. I get to post on the loser side now. I am tired and I am run down. It seems that I am so tuckered out. I am having a very difficult time getting a handle on my pain. I didnt have any incision pain or any pain really associated with the surgery. My biggest problem was getting control of my back pain. I have spent years figuring out when I should take meds and when I should put up with things. Only one thing I can say for pre ops. If you have a chronic pain make sure you handle it before you go in. Tell everyone. dont take no for an answer.

will write more later. need to lay down.

I hope things are getting better! It shoul be a little easier each day. I have chronic back pain too and I know how you feel. Take the meds if you need them! That is why you have them. Try to keep the pain down instead of waiting for it to get bad before you take the meds. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

It's so nice to see you posting. I hope that your pain starts to get easier. I'm sure the comfort of you own home will help.
Welcome to the looser's side!!

Bill...It saddened me to hear your complications and pain while you were in the hospital. But I as so excited that you are now home. There is just no place like home isnt there. Especially when you get crappy care in the hospital and you know more then the nurses! I have stories about my hospital stay as well. Welcome home to the LOOSER SIDE!!!
