Just realized that it has been three weeks since I last updated the blog. I am improving but more slowly than I would like. The muscles in my neck are really protesting to having to support my head without a good portion of the C6 vertebra. As a result I have a lot of pain and discomfort from muscle strain and spasms. I still need to be horizontal for periods of the day to give those muscles a break.
That being said. My incision has healed nicely and I have a rather large indent at the base of my neck where they removed part of the vertebra. I am trying to get out and walk or ride the stationary bike every day to get some of my stamina back.
I had a wonderful time at the beach with family over Thanksgiving. We had 10 for dinner and the weather treated us to everything from warm sunshine (walked 3 miles on the beach) to heavy rain and high winds. Typical Oregon coast in the winter.
I am working very hard to appreciate each moment that I am given. A friend sent me this link which is a lovely reminder of how we should live each day.
