Healing to where feeling human is NICE.

Yay, finally after having my discectomy and fusion surgery the 17th of last month (they kept putting me off.) I got cleared to get back walking a week and half ago, but still felt horrible. Finally felt human enough to walk a mile the other day, and 3 miles today. Yesterday was another doctor appointment and rainy/ stormy weather. Am glad to finally be beginning to feel better, but wishing this pain would go all the way away like they said it was supposed to. Looking forward to LIFE again where I can exercise or just plain exist without pain or meds for pain. RNY patients choices for relief is so limited. And the doctors think we are just junkies when specify need for non nsaids. Be SO glad not to need anything AND be able to walk or add different exercise. Would love to do strength training some now that I can lift my arms over my head. Light weights, not like incredible hulk muscles. Just healthy, you know?
