kkk... so here goes....
I had 2 pins put into my spine at the hip area about 6 weeks ago. fusion of the sciatic area, if doc chat helps, lol. I am feeling much more relief than I had hoped for. don't get me wrong, I am sore and can barely walk around the back yard yet, but I am up and doing stairs and short walks thru the day. I go back to the surgeon next week and hope to start p/t. I have stopped the oxy's , but still smoke, so I am not doing myself any favors there. fighting boredom and the self hatred of bpd, but still fightin'. I am a survivor.... to say the least.... I think the surgery may well have saved me....its scary and terrifying, but I really couldn't move any more. was using walker and cane, and laying all the time.....just couldn't do that.....good luck with any and all your choices to keep strong and moving around!!!!
