Unexpected hospitalization and spinal (neck) surgery

 I have been thinking about you pretty lady, I can imagin it's been rough lately. Again, I wish I lived closer so I could help you. 

I read it. I'm speechless. Wow.

Good luck and hang in there. Be an obedient patient.

I posted on your OH blog.  Wow.

Don't worry about replying back! You need to just take it very easy so that your body can rest! I am so sorry you are having to go through this. I will be praying for you! 

 I sent you a message on your blog as well..so no need to respond. I also dealt with a lot of unexpected crap during my weight loss stage..and i have to say..it really stole the joy out of all of it for me. I didnt have the happy happy joy joy bull**** everyone else seemed to becuase I was too miserable dealing with the deal life drama that I had no control over at all. 

It wasnt easy but now that I am almost 18 months out and some of the life stuff has settled down I am finally able to stop and find the joy in what I have accomplished.

This is a hard thing you have been dealt!

Be grateful for being 137 pounds lighter while healing up from it!

You are in the thoughts and prayers of so many!

This is going to suck for a long minute but not forever!

Until this spell passes enjoy the vicoden and best of luck pooping! Theres your chuckle from me for the day! 

When you are ready for those crab cakes you PM your address!

Hi Candy,
I want to encourage you.  I had ACDF of C5-6 with hardware i***** after a car accident.  My symptoms were identical.  The first 6 weeks were rough, but I got my life back and to this day I have had very little pain.  You will get through this and it will become a distant memory.  I will keep you in my prayers.  DO NOT LIFT OR PULL anything!!!!  I know they have instructed you well, but it is so important to let others lift for you.  Keep us posted.  You are always so sweet, I'm sorry this has happened to you but it will get better!!!!

Thank you, Janie. I needed to read this tonight. When does the pain stop? Surgery was on 4/9 and it's 4/22. I accidentlyf didn't take my percoset last night so ended up going 14 hours without anything,I woke up in such severe pain I was going crazy. :( Follow up with surgeon is this coming week. I'm doing the best I can to follow instructions :)

It's such a SLOW recovery. I just thought I guess tatt Id'd be up and at 'em again so very soon. Denial, much?

I'm just not really used to having to on others so much.
