Surgery Tuesday

[Sparky]

Surgery went well. OMG when I woke up I was in the worst pain I ever felt. They stabbed my neck to give me a nerve blocker and a big dose of dilaudid. I actually only had to use the pain killers a couple days and I am off them completely. I did sleep in my recliner for a few days because I couldn't get comfortable in bed. Going back to Ortho on the 18th and will hopefully get this cast removed. Physical therapy to start after the new year.

PT will be a major help, good to hear your use of meds is minimal and feeling better.
