Phylly,
I was starting to worry but I figured you were in just a lot of pain and exhausted from the surgery. Say, "Hi" to my friends at St. Joe's and I hope they are taking very good care of you. I knew you could do it and now the hard work of recovery begins. Make sure the nurses keep your pain under control. And please keep focused on your recovery and don't worry about all the "extra" stuff. You made it girl. Congratulations. runner P.S. Let your husband pamper you...it is almost Valentine's Day. (heart) |

Phylly:
I am so glad that things are going to be moving in a better direction for you. It's been a rough road, but you've had an amazingly positive attitude and disposition. I've been at a drug court conference most of the week, and Rotary's 57th Annual Spaghetti Dinner last night, so I have been swamped. I have been thinking about you and hoping, and praying, that it went well. Now we can support you in the process of true recovery this time around. Hang in there, take the happy drugs , behave yourself (pot calling the kettle black). I look forward to hearing more from you in the days ahead. Terry Newton

Dear Phylly
Great news! Praying for a fast and increasingly pain-free recovery. Hang in there, know you can do it. Was your son able to stay with you thru your surgery. Take advantage of all the support and "mothering" you richly deserve. Sandy

Good news and great to see you posting already. I had a fusion on Tuesday as well, albeit a less complicated one, but we can compare notes when you get home. If you're up walking already it shouldn't be long. Good going! I'm sending healing thoughts your way.

Phylly, so glad you are at day 4 post-op already. I know the post surgery pain is no picnic, so hang in there. I can't wait to hear when they give the thumb's up to release you from the hospital. I pray this is your final surgery and pain free days are waiting for you down the road. God bless.

So nice to hear from you Phylly. You sound like you are doing extremely well, this soon after surgery. And I am so happy that a lot of your pain seems very much to be gone, this is very hopeful news.
I look forward to hearing more about your experience, and your recovery in the days and weeks to come. I hope you are able to leave the hospital soon, and make your way home where you can be more comfortable. I wish you the best for a quick and easy recovery Phylly.
