So how's your back doing?
Ohhhhh the back.
Healing is slow. But getting there. I have a lot of tightness, but I think it's scar tissue. For the last week I've had pain in my tailbone area (where the fracture was) and it shoots pains into my left rear end, and into my hip. But the hip is mainly taking the heat. Yesterday I hurt so bad I couldn't even walk without dang near in tears. The doctor's office FINALLY refilled my pain script. So today it seems better, but I have my 6 week post op check up today. So we'll see what he says.
They are really getting on my nerves. I'm 6 weeks out of surgery...3 week out they cut my pain med intake in half. But the overall pain hasnt been too bad until this hip thing. And then getting them to refill is was like pulling teeth. I told my hubby I'm so tired of being treated like I'm an addict...and I'm not. I mean seriously....gagging everytime I try to swallow a pill is not the highlight of my day. But I guess they have to be strict BECAUSE of the addicts ruining it for everyone else. *sigh* I'll eventually get better and eventually get off the meds PERIOD!!! And I can't wait!!
I think the hip flared up big time Tuesday when I had to drive all the way over to school to enroll. I'm only taking 7 hours this semester (the music people didn't like it because I'm not going FT, but they can kiss my extended-surgically altered butt crack). Then when I checked on a temporary handicap parking sticker (so I wouldn't have to walk the 4 blocks to get to my building), they sent me to 3 different people in 3 different buildings. I was like could you please JUST CALL. I just had surgery and walking is still difficult. They're like...no ma'am because there's papers you will need to fill out. I finally find the right person and low and behold....I didn't need any papers. I just have to bring a note from my doctor. So needless to say, by the time I got back to the truck I couldn't hardly even step up in it.
So, there's my mini novel update. Will let you guys know how the doctor appointment goes.
