Interesting.
Curious to find out what other growth was...
..and how long that steroid will last and how you'll feel after it wears off.

The more you take care not to overdo the longer the steroid will last.

You feel good now, but don't overdo.

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee. So glad to see that you are resting and taking it easy, Tonya.

Good morning everyone. I've got my mediocre McDonald's coffee this morning. Decided to stay home from work today to hopefully let my body fight off the Covid.
Going to spend my morning planning out a transport to Iowa City. I need a few more clients to confirm the trip. Fingers crossed!

 

[DobieLover]

I'm so glad you feel better!!

I do! I can still walk fully upright and without leg pain. BUT the pain meds I got while sedated wore off during the night.

I've got Percocet and I took one this morning at 6. Can take every 4 hrs as needed. Right now, my ice pack is working well.

I had C&R take me to run an errand this morning.

I just delivered a bouquet of flowers with a thank you card to my surgeon and 10 donuts to her staff.

Then we went over to the ambulatory surgery area and delivered 4 dozen donuts to them. I also gave donuts to the security guard, front desk staff, a worker in the hall that helped get me to the surgical suite and the receptionist in the waiting room that helped get me a bed more quickly.
Fun, fun!

Now I'm relaxing with Piper on my lap hoping I can doze off, although I don't feel tired. I only slept about 3 hours last night.

Nice of you to take them doughnuts this morning.
I do hope you sleep it is the best thing.

 

[Mtn Margie]

Yes, good news DL! Rest, rest, rest!
My horse had to be evacuated from a fire today. He is on an irrigated pasture now and will be having fun. The fire was at the back of the pasture and all the horses loaded right up.
Good ponies!

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

I've given up on Jody. She keeps looking at the chicks but won't call them to her and won't go get them. She's been locked out of the ward. I'll have to raise the little buggers myself. Jody just had her last opportunity to be a mother. She's officially done. No more setting for her.

I am FINALLY sleeping well. I am only taking my pain meds every 8 hours instead of every 4 and using lots of ice to control pain/inflammation at the surgical site between doses. Still walking normal but the site is for sure very sore. I am moving cautiously and I think today will be a very lazy day indeed with lots of naps. I am looking forward to it!

I have a huge clear breathable bandage over the incision. It's called Second Skin, like what covered my tattoo when I got it. I cannot see it and don't really want to. I think the incision has been glued together. The bandage comes off Friday and that is when I can get my back wet.

 

[Sally PB]

Very glad to hear this, DL. Hope you continue to mend.

I tucked them back under the brooder plate.

Did you have to bend over to do this...despite your 'no bending' directive??

 

[Mtn Margie]

Ahhh, coffee! Thanks!
Today is a MORF day. He will hopefully get his Drivers license updated
and will be able to so some stuff on his own.
Continue to rest, DL! Aart, made a very good point there...
