Tomorrow will be 6 weeks post-op. There's been so much improvement, but still not where I want to be at. Driving is still uncomfortable because over half the wound is still healing, and any little bump I go over hurts. The majority of the pain is now in my upper back, in between my shoulder blades. I can tell the muscles and nerves are still learning their correct place! It still takes me forever to get a shower and get ready, just because I ain't as fast as I used to be š I'm still hoping it'll be sooner rather than later on getting the feeling back in certain areas of my back and on my thighs. There's still such a long road ahead of me since I'm not allowed to bend, lift, or twist for the next 6 months to a year. But until then, I'm gonna continue to thank Jesus for carrying me through all of this. I know there's no way I could have gone through this without Him. ā¤
I still can't get over the fact that this is my back now!
