Vacation: Week Two

Hey! So, FYI, I'm currently not on THAT much medication! Woohoo!!

So, I'm able to walk around now with almost zero pain! But, there's still some pain. It doesn't hurt to get up and  lay down which is good! But my back starts hurting if I stand for more than 10-15 minutes. Also, and this is what is freaking me out the most, is that my left leg still kind of hurts :( I wont know for sure what the extent of the damage is until I am able to sit for more than 30 minutes at a time. You see, my leg always hurt the most when I was sitting. But now, it hurts only when I stand up. That is kind of freaking me out because what if there is permanent nerve damage! And my leg hurts forever! I'm seeing the doctor next week so I will let him know. Hopefully, my back is just readjusting and the pain i feel is just due to my back not being properly healed yet. Either way, I am taking SUPER easy and resting a lot so I don't do any damage.

In other news, I talked to the doctor last week and he said that my recovery time would be 4-6 weeks! I was like WHAAAT?? I was expecting to return to work next friday but now I guess I wont be back for two weeks! Now that I'm not super drugged up and able to do things like walk outside, it's really starting to feel like a real vacation! I think that next week I'm going to go to San Marcos to visit the family. Yeah that sounds like a good time! We'll see how I feel though. WELL, time for a nap!
