recovery

about 3 weeks ago i had major back surgery.  removed a collasped disc, replaced it and bolted the whole thing back together.  to make it worse, the nerves were wedged between the discs on the right and the nerves on the left were wadded up and had to be straighten.  oh yeah!!  4 days in hte hospital, lots of pain killer.  and that 3rd day when all the surgery pain killers wear off give the pain level 10 a whole new meaning.  thank heavens i had wondeful nurses.  i'm still looking at about 8 weeks of recovery but i have to say i enjoy living in jammies.  the morphine has been cut in half and the inflammation meds for the nerve endings is being cut back too but, hey, norco is the kicker pill.  good grief.  i don't understand why my fingers have a problem finding the correct keys and you're think i'l know exactly where the backspace key is by now but no.   but i sit here in my recently rearranged living room and feel warm and cozy.  i'm glad i made a point of moving things around before i had the surgery.  i would think that being secure in your sourrondng during recovery is a good thing.  i'm always in some level of pain and i nap at least twice a day but feel it will only get better.  in fact, today i was able to lean over far enouhg to pick up dropped underwear.
