Update

I am a month post surgery and doing pretty good. I am having some pain in my foot which is good since I have not felt this foot in over 9 months. Some of the stuff I just have to learn to deal with and am going to practice some meditation techniques for relaxation.

I opened my work email yesterday and found an email from my supervisor terminating my employment due to medical issues. What a way to start the weekend. So next week I have to go over to the school and empty out my office as I left all my therapy supplies because I intended to return.

In less than one years time I have had two major back surgeries, numerous MRI's, and lost my job. What a year!!

Post Surgery

I went to the neurosurgeon for my follow up and things are progressing as well as can be expected. I continue to struggle with my left leg and foot with very little reflexes but it takes time for nerves to regenerate. I have a lot of trouble sitting for any length of time but am up more and feeling some better. My family has been great through all this. They have taken turns doing different things for me (i.e. cooking, cleaning, visiting). I have a wonderful family and really appreciate them coming together for me.
