pop in to say hello
Just got back from a really long trip for me-two weeks. Went to son's graduation in Ithaca and then London to see other son. We did tons of walking and EATING. I survived all the sitting and will take it easy this weekend. I have not decreased any pain meds but I will try now that I am home. I think at almost 4 months post fusion I hoped for less pain but I am so tolerant to all the pain meds that decreasing is going to be tough for me. I was happy I could go though, something I could never do before the surgery. Just wanted to say hello to everyone and will try to catch up on posts. I did not have email while away. I can see there have been lots of surgeries and news from all.
