I have decided that I am a kid again. I can't drive (meds and the whole can't turn my neck thing), can't drink (again meds), can't go anywhere that my husband doesn't take me to (including the whole can't drive), can't work (don't want to go killing patients), can't sleep (hard to sleep with a rod being stuck up your spinal cord and rattled around). I also feel like an invalid can't pick up anything heavy, can't jump or move too fast, need help with my medications at times, can't remember things for long it seems.
Sorry I know that what energy we put out we get back. I had so much hope and energy put into the surgery that when it didn't work, it was devastating. Then we were sure that it would show on the MRI, but no. My hypnotherapist says that he doesn't believe that it is in my mind: he believes that it is physical.
It will get better and I will be able to return to work.
