Ah theres nothing like urgent back surgery and ambulance rides to make a gal feel wanted. Or in lots of pain. After months of pain and evidently not loud enough whining to my doctor, lst friday my physio freaked out at the state of me and sent me to the ER of my hopsital where LOADS of doctors threw theyre hats into the ring over my care. The ortho surgeon won and I was transferred to another hopsital for an emergency MRI in case what was wrong needed emergeny op. It didnt but did need urgent op so had to stay in hopital over the weekend bored brainless but my sister and brixxx and boyfriend visited so at least something broke monotony. Operated on monday night. a discectomy and laminectomy(disc removal and removal of a piece of bone) out of bed tuesday night out of hospital yesterday. lying on bed attempting to take it easy which is really hard when you can get comfy cos theres a 3 inch surgical wound at the base of your spine. OWEEEEE
Surgery has however given me perspective. While at first hopsital, in xray, my wallet and mobile were stolen. and yet im mellow and calm. then again tranquilizers will do that to you!
Off to relax some more!
