Three weeks since surgery

I went to the pain dr everything looks ok, he didn't release from my restriction, not for another month for next appointment. He did order some new cream to put on the muscle near the back where the SCS is located. The name of the cream is Total Spain Soultion, it's being mail to me. I only have to pay 17. 00 for it. My biggest concerns are that I have a busting sensation where the SCS is located. I am not sure what causing it. I did received the cream for my back not sure if its helping or not.
Went to see my Cancer DR today, everything is good, I am 8 years survivor!! The DR said when I get to the ten years marked I can go down to once a year instead of every six months. Good thing, I have good insurance.
Any of you living in central Florida are tired of trial of George Zimmerman vs state.  That all on TV for the next 2 to 4 weeks. Boring sometime but also interesting when people lied on the stand and think they are getting away with it.
Oh we'll my granddaughter is coming over to spend the night. Hopefully her mom will get the job she is going to interview for!!!

New week same pain

It's two weeks since I had the SCS put in my back, it's doing okay. I am trying to get out and do more now, that I can do. We have had my nephew here like usually, my hubby and I wish with the help of his parents to get him on a schedule before school starts in a month and half, Rory will be starting VPK at our local school (same school) his father went to many years ago.
Starting to get what we call hot weather here in Florida. Of course my hubby loves working outside when it's so hot (not)!
Well I just wanted to get this one finished sometime today. I guess I have been depress lately, for no good reasons, just tired of the pain and everything that's goes with it.
I have enjoyed really other people logs about their journey. I really luckily I have a great family that helps me out everyday.
I need to start helping my mom pack her stuff into our home, we to get the house ready to put it up for sale. Our lives are going to change and we know this as we did this from 1999 - 2002 we had my 99 years old grandmother lived with us after my dad died. We were both working then so this should be a little more easier since we retired this will be a lot easier for both of us.

11 days post ops

I guess I did too much the last few days and its catching up with me today, I kinda of you yesterday because late evening. My one bandage came off yesterday and incision looks good. I have a little pain at one of the incision, but it's looking good.
My step son is doing well since his triple pass surgery
We had a great supper with my son and his family.
Time to get ready to go to bed.

My hubby is back from GA

Well my husband is back from GA. My step son did have a heart attack on Tuesday and on Thursday he had triple bypass. He is doing well, he survived because he has good health and good physical being. My hubby was glad he went to see his two sons in GA. Nothing else he good do up there so he came home.
I went out to lunch with one of  my friends, we had a good time, she going through a lot taking care of her 17 years old grandson who has lots of issues. I have walked in her shoes before and knows where she is coming from.
My SCS is working well, still adjusting to it. My bandage just came off where the battery is.
I just have to watch I don't over do it.

Recovery without my hubby

Last evening after supper, my hubby got a phone call and I could hear from his side that someone was in the hospital. After he got off the phone, hubby said his oldest son had an heart attack early morning (Wednesday), and he is having a Triple bypass at 8:00 at this morning. Of course they are 6 hours north of us in GA (Savannah). Could his exwife (Jason's) mother call us when this happen, since he lives with her, the answer is a big NO. She still holds hard feeling after 34 years being divorce, and John and I have been married 33 years. Jason is 41 years old, he young and strong hopefully everything will go ok with the surgery. My biggest worry is my hubby, he doesn't show his emotions very often but when he does I like to be there to help him for whatever happen.
I couldn't make the trip because of my recent surgery, but I have plenty of family member to help me out.
Some one asks what company I have for me SCS, it Medtronic. I getting used to it still, not having to take so many pain pills. The two incsion of where I was cut on still bother me some. My hubby warned me not to over do it.
Well I will finish this later on.

Week since surgery

Hi it's been a week since surgery and each day it gets better then the day before. I saw the DR yesterday and all is going well. He said no pole dancing for me for a while. It's a joke, I am not coordinate enough to do a pole dancing. The rep for the simulator got a couple more programs for the simulator. He also saids it take a while for the healing of the surgery on my back. Luckily I have a great husband who has helped me through this journey and he continues to do. Now other members of my family not so much, they think after two days after the surgery I should be up and moving without any problems.
You have to get used to having the machine on and it's feels like a current in your body. I took a shower today for the first time in a week and did it feel good, I didn't let the water run directly on my back, I am afraid my back isn't completed healed enough to have the water pour down on my back.
Differnt subject, my four years old nephew went to takweo and got a little scare when they tried to show them what to do when a bad person tries to hurt you. He doesn't like loud noises and I guess the room was noises then usually, my hubby had to up and comfort him, he was so scare he said he didn't want takweo anymore. Hopefully by tomorrow he will change his mind.
Sorry I haven't written more but I am still not up to para yet.

A wake up

Well it's Monday evening before surgery I have to be there by 6 so I guess I am one of the Firestone. So yes I nervous about it. Will probably not RN on my iPad for a while, so good luck to all
