That will probably happen with me as well.
I got some great news today. I had my first post-op appointment since the spinal fusion surgery five weeks ago. I think many on this list know that I have been mostly bed bound since the surgery. But I did start walking a couple of weeks ago - in my house! I used a pedometer and I found one route where 30 laps is exactly equal to one mile. I started slowly but now I'm doing 1-2 miles a day at a 3mph pace. It's odd, but even though it's boring of course, it just feels great to move.
It's standard to begin physical therapy three months after the surgery. Here I am at five weeks thinking it's going to be seven more before I can get started. The good news is that my doctor, who should be High Priest at Lourdes with the great result he's created for me, said that I was doing so well that I can start PT in three weeks! Wahoo!
