I am steadily getting a little better and a little stronger with each day. The pain comes and goes but I am able to control it with Tylemol. I can stand a little pain just to get off the narcotics which really make me crazy. Had a bit of a scare with the muscle relaxant that I need to take for the bad muscle spasms. The prescription said take one to two pills every 9 hours. I tried one and was nauseous and couldn't stand after about 15 minutes. Had to sleep the effects off. So I now take only 1/2 and at bedtime so I can sleep.
I have moved over to my apartment here at Willamette View so that Becca and family can go to the coast.. Everyone here is so helpful. I have a frig full of food and lots of offers to help. I can be upright for a couple of hours but then need to lie flat to get the pressure off my neck.
I will spend the next two weeks here recuperating. I will have the staples taken out right before Thanksgiving and then the whole family..Sue included plans to go to the coast for the Holiday.
We couldn't have hoped for a better out come from the surgery. Hopefully the scans in Feb. will show the tumor gone and my neck will remain stable so that I don't have to have a fusion at a later date.
