I got home from the hospital Saturday afternoon. I was in the hospital-torture place for 5 days. (Where else do you get woken up every two hours for "vitals" and/or take blood - plus the food sucked! Thank God my Aunt and Uncle brought me food.) The surgery took 4 hours and I had to have 2 blood tranfusions, one during the surgery and a day after the surgery. I now have titanium rods, plates and posts in my back; that should set off quite a few security alarms.

I didn't have to go to rehab as I was able to walk around the nurses station 8 times last Friday. It felt so good walking again without any pain. I do have to use a walker though. I have a nurse come to my house every day to check on me and I had a physical therapist come to my house yesterday, who walked with me outside and showed me how to walk up and down my stairs. Yay! I can sleep in my own bed again. The PT will be coming to me 3x a week.

I am so glad to be back with my doggie and kitties as they are happy to have me home. I am adjusting to my new back and will be home from work for at least 4 weeks. I see the doctor again tomorrow.

I am sorry I couldn't make last night's game, but I was just a bit too tired and was out like a light a 9 p.m. But I hope to see all you guys tomorrow night, I miss you guys even if it has been only a week.
