  • In case anyone was wondering...

    Hi, all.

    In case anyone has been wondering where my wife's characters have been (Yasia, Mara...um...her new evil chick), They are all taking a slight rest. As some of you know, my wife has been in the hospital all weekend with a messed up disc in her lower back. We saw the neurosurgeon today and he gave us some new ...not too bad, but not good either,

    Her disc id bulging inwards and pressing on the spinal cord. He has her scheduled for surgery tomorrow (though no one has told us what time yet). The good part (well...at least the not-so-bad part) is that she won't need her spine fused. The doc is gonna go in and remove a small part of the disc to releave the pressure on the spinal cord. He is pretty sure this will stop her pain and numbness without needing the fusion. Not doing the fusing quickens the recovery time quite a bit. Supposedly, she will get to go home the day after the surgery and be up walking around in about 2 weeks (instead of 4-6 weeks for the fusion).

    I'm trying to figure out a way to get the internet connection to the room so she can mess around on the game to keep her busy and help pass the laid up time. I have a wireless router and a wifi card on my daughter's comp, so maybe I can use that and move the girl's comp downstairs where the rest are now.

    Anyway, figured I'd give those of you who have asked an update. Send her all sorts of positive vibes if you could.

            Well, she had the surgery this morning. The doc said all went just as planned and she is doing fine. He should be coming by to talk to us tomorrow sometime and let us know when she can go home and what care she needs here. She got to eat real food for lunch (kinda late for lunch, but that's what they called it) and has her narcotic pump contraption hooked up to her for the night. The pain she was having is pretty much gone, but her foot still hurts due to the nerve being irritated, so she gets good drugs.

            All goes well, she should be home in the next couple days. Thanks for all the well-wishes and positive vibes.


            Even you, Silas

              Well I am home now. I'm pretty sore but doing ok. I have good drugs to keep me going. The bad part is I have to use a walker for a while cause I have what they call a "drop foot". That means that the nerves in my foot and calf are not up to par. Especially my foot. It kinda drags a bit. But my neurosurgeon said it will get better. He said it could take a few days, weeks, months..even possibly up to a year. It will depend on how well my nerves heal and regenerate. Thank you all so much for the good vibes and warm thoughts. I think I was going through withdrawls from the game lol But I'm glad to be home and will have to rest up but at least I have my computer now thanks to my wonderful husband.

                Good to have you back.

                ...and impressively soon too. Based on your husband's post, it seemed like it would be another few days. Yet, here you are in merely a single day. Fast healer, or just stubborn to get out of the hospital? lol

                May you find strength toward recovery from God and those wonderful drugs the doctor gave you.

                  Good job making the speedy come-back. Here's hoping for an equally speedy recovery. Did they give you that group of exercises to encourage healing your dorisflexion? They help, really, I promise. Also, they make certain braces for that. I don't know if the doc told you anything about those...if he didn't, it's probably best to ask before you use them, if you even want to.

                    I had a problem with my left arm 4 years ago, it didnt involve surgery but from my personal experience I can confirm that nerves do heal and regenerate slowly but steadily. I had to put a pillow under my arm too when sleeping and that's all I had to do for a looong while.

                    Get well soon !
