It is important to have love and support especially during a time when a person is sick or going through a scarry thing like surgery. I have seen some pretty neat stories of 24hr and getting out the next day.I was in 4 days. Right before my operation my daughter had an emotional breakdown took it ou on me then turned her backon me two weeks befor surgery Broken hearts and surgeried bodies dont go together. I was in a hoveround for 2 yrs.When I had my operation I couldnt get up I had a cathedar.I was in ICU 2 days. They got me up on the third day. I was almost wheelchair bound I was walking with a cane 72hrs then today 3 weeks po no cane stable and walking Its been 3 weeks and I feel great my heart is stronger my body is using mussles it never has.When I went in I was broken. Im on a mend. I am just saying. To go it alone is alot harder then love and support from the people you love. Had I had that I would be alot stronger and my healing a more pleasureable expierance.
Twana,
What an amazing post. I'm sorry you had to go through that with your daughter and I hope things are better between you and your daughter. I am a daughter and I have a daughter and I can atests to the fact that the mother daughter relationship is a complicated one. It seems it is very often a push and pull one. We push away or get pushed away and then eventually want to pull close again. I love that you are feeling better. I have a very hard time walking and I would be so grateful to find some improvement with walking after surgery. I had my decompression done in 2001 and I know it is a difficult recovery. I am so happy that you are on the mend and doing better.Good Luck and I'm sending you a hug.

Oh Thanks for the hug. There is sooo much of a story here. I have made many sacerfices for my daughter. We have not spoken and probly nevr will. She is my only child letting go is not easy. But I cant afforod to be hurt by her anylonger. This isnt the first time she has hurt me she has been injoying seeing me in this pain and to see me with anykind of happieness cringes her very soul. For she bore a child with Autisum. Hes 9 now non verbal cannot speak a sentance. Acts very retarded with constant jibber footslapping totally distructive ripping doors off. I had to stat away from him. They have kept him away from me so he wont hurt me. So every time he sees me he wants to bam me on the head with hit fist a club whatever he can find. So I stay away. There are sooo many other things. I let him give me a hug by bendi over he put his arms around my neak like a hug then brought up his feet and took me down It took forever. Its horrible Autisum is also a home wreaker. Everyone even grandma. I hope you get your surgery Wendyanne soon. Dont let the sugery intimidate you in any way 1 you will have plenty of pain medication. I was back on tramadol 5 days post op. Im on over the counter Ibuprophen 3 week po I am doing so many things I could only dream of. Good luck on your operation a great big hug back at you. I havent been able and I can give great big ones now. Today Im OK It hurt more than I could have ever emagined. But today I'm ok
