Sarah says:I am so happy to report to y'all that compared to how I felt for the last couple of years - I am feeling so much better! Even now with some residual leg pain and upper back and shoulder pain from the surgery, you can not begin to imagine the relief I am feeling not having that agonizing lower back pain throbbing away at me all day and night long. I can say happily that I feel like a new person right now. My energy is coming back. I am not even talking about the energy I had before the operation, because in all honesty, I haven't had energy for years. I am talking about the energy I had pre-back pain! This is a wonderful development!!! I just hope it last. I am knocking on wood as I write this. I know I MUST still rest a lot and take it easy and not lift anything for months and not bend too much. I know that and I will respect it. What I realized today more than anything - now that I am off pain killers and starting to take small walks (today to Kortrijk with Heidi where I bought two really nice things on sale still a size smaller than I was before!) - what I felt today is that my oh my what did I put up with for the last years - agony - that's what I let into my life and started to almost believe was normal. I cannot begin to describe what it feels like to no longer have that heavy pain every day dragging me down, draining all my energy and making me feel like less than a person.
I feel oddly liberated. I feel full of hope. I feel somewhat manic from all this.
I just hope it lasts. I just hope it lasts...
On another topic: I miss Heidi here! I know she has no time and doesn't always even have interest. It sort of feels like she's left Face The Day and it is all mine now! I am sorry about that. I do hope she returns whenever she can but I don't know if she feels like it anymore!!! Sorry if you miss her too!!!
