Well these new drugs are not cutting it at all! Had really bad neck pain the last two days and I’m not impressed! Did push myself a little too hard at my work bench but I had a deadline to get hallmarking sent off! It looks like I may be finishing in school next week. So I will no longer be a teacher does that mean I can tell people I’m a jeweller? Cause that would be pretty fab.
I’ve done a little research into this disc replacement surgery and it’s a pretty new thing, although given my age it does look like the other option of spinal fusion (which my doc didn’t suggest this is just what I read online) would be a very very stupid idea.
It’s a long ol recovery time though! A full week in hospital and then about 6 weeks recovery after that, so pretty much 2 months of my life I’m looking at loosing and that’s if everything goes ok! My brain has been plotting what could I do other then watch TV in that time, and I’m thinking writing is really the only productive thing. I can have lots of stock of jewellery ready to go as well so that I can keep the shop open, but anyway it’s ages away yet and I have to have tests to find out if it’s a goer. The idea that at least my mobility issues can be fixed though is very exciting!
I’m going to give these new drugs a week and if they don’t work talk to my doc about going back on the old ones, what was I thinking saying that the sleepiness was worse than the pain! Rubbish!
