Discharged From Back Surgeon At Hope


Roses

Recommended Posts

I can't believe it! Went back for yet another x-ray expecting to have to go back again in a few months and I am discharged to physio! Yay! At last the proper recovery can commence!!!! I talked through a long list of "issues" I have. One being that the combined forces of my scoliosis and the operation/repair last year has meant that I have lost 3/4 inch to the scoliosis and 1 1/4 inch of height due to the operation resulting in going from 5ft 7" to 5ft 5" - I am upset about that. But I'm so glad that I can walk and I'm re-assured that the height loss is just par for the course. This also means that my already swollen BMI is even worse but I think I can get to grips with that once I am more mobile. I am already on the "just sweat" programme of my daughter's Wii game so hopefully a bit of frantic arm waving and jumping around will help with that.

The other issues like the cracking when I relax at night or in the bath, and the constant pain I am re-assured is also normal and will get better when the muscles strengthen and that noises are soft tissue moving around so that's OK. I know this probably sounds dull but it's exciting to me. Woo hoo!!!! Physio and stuff here I come...... :masked:
