@mrs-b are you OK?

[MamaBee]

There‘s nothing better than being in your own bed. If you can sleep through the pain until it heals than don’t fight it.
I’m sure being home with Tim must make you feel so much better.
You have been on my mind every day..I want so much for you to start feeling better..

 

[bright&shiny]

Prayers answered already in so many ways! Relieved to hear you are released and home - hugs to you and Tim.

 

[Mcgregor]

You will heal so much faster in your own home. I know you are still in pain and drugged up, but I hope that you have seen the worst of this and that you finally begin to experience some relief. We are all sending you our best and wishing you quick healing.

 

[TooPatient]

Hoping today has been more comfortable for you.

I am so so glad you're home, and on the other side. I hope you're more comfortable and getting some rest. Long road behind you, long road ahead, but there's a light at the end of this.

I'm home at last. Lots of complications once they cut me open - not least of which was the massive scar build up from the previous surgeries. There was also a huge amount of bone growth around the L5-S1 area which was basically chipped away with a chisel then removed piece by piece with tweezers. Good times. Anyway, a lot of the bone was growing though nerve and around disc and encasing the whole thing. Dr said it was a miracle I could still walk - which, in reality, I barely could do.

So listen to your auntie Mrs-B, boys and girls, if your back hurts, and your dr tells you you need surgery - go get it right away and don't turn yourself into a paraplegic like I did!

I'm still super stoned, and will be for another week. So I'm going off to blanket bay now and hope to feel better when I wake up. On Thursday, Maybe on Friday, Possibly later. And Tim deserves a medal; he's been unbelievable. I am the luckiest woman in the world,

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers - I knew each and every one of you were with me and it meant the world.

I love you all, I truly do,

Hollian. oxo. <3 (your resident drug addict)

(Enjoy those drugs maam, you'll be glad for them!)

God we could swap some stories. All I care about now is that you're home resting and well medicated.

Hallo.

I've been home now for two days and it's been a pretty rough ride. My body is so wounded and I am pretty deeply into what I expect to be PTSD. The surgery was much worse than either I or my surgeon anticipated, and I suffered heavy delirium for 3 days. In an attempt to bring me back to myself and minimize the damage the delirium was doing to my brain, my doctors cut my pain meds, at which point I screamed in pain for another 3 days. I had certain experiences there I felt violated both my body and my privacy and I've been left with an ongoing anxiety disorder that I expect to continue for some months.

To that end, I've decided to have a break from PS for a few months, and come back healthier and stronger when I feel up to it. I'm simply too exhausted to have anything to offer this wonderful community, but I wish each and every one of you joy and blessings and all things sparkly.

With much love always,

Mrs-B

Take care of yourself and know you’ll be missed. I’ll keep mega dust thoughts coming your way.
