but Im on the pity pot anyway.
Im 4 mo post op and was improving well until I had the flu. that set me back at least 3 weeks, to the point where the pain was unmanageable.
then my DH fell & broke his leg; now my life is a nightmare. Ive had to go back to doing everything I did before surgery, including the things HE did. His dr. doesnt see why I cant drive him back & forth to work; umm, that would be 4 hr out of my day. Not to mention that Im still on narcotics!
everything is Have To now--serve him food, laundry, groceries, dishes, exercise the dog, empty the litter box, etc. the trash has been in the bin for a couple weeks now.
yes, we've gotten some help, but it's all out of pocket. 5 more weeks of this.
the good news is that I had an acupuncture treatment, which pretty much eliminated the nausea. good riddance!
I cant imagine how people can go back to work, especially doing hard physical labor. be careful out there.
anyway, I hope everyone is making progress.
