Week 1 Post-Op
Well it's been one week since my surgery. I've already cut back on my pain medication and am starting feel much better. I'm at the point where I really hate this neck brace and I want it off. However, I know that if I do I may screw up my neck so I have to just power through it.
One thing I've found helps with my recovery is to go out and buy a 60" 3D LED/LCD flat screen Telly. Trust me it makes recovery much more tolerable. The is nothing like watching all 6 Star Wars movies in HD and the Avengers in HD 3D to take your mind off a fused cervical spine.
I'm also planning my return to the world of fitness. I can't wait to start yoga classes again. I long for my running shoes and my 5 miles runs with my running partner. Nothing like sitting on your ass for a week that really puts everything back into perspective.
I have such a screwed up spine that I really need to take better care of it. I'm only 42 and I have too many years left to enjoy, I can't afford to become a cripple when I know i can stop it.
For now it's time to heal up and watch The Lord of the Rings trilogy on a huge HD tv.
