Today is wednesday...almost a week since surgery day. I'm still having pain in my right buttocks when i try to move in and out of bed. I still can feel some sciatica pain when I am laying down face up. But i am able to sleep after all. The only issue is when i try to change positions. I swith it up between face up and left side. I dont want to try right side yet because that is where the surgery was. Besides, that will require a complete 180 degrees.
I am getting pretty good getting in and out of bed with my back straight using my hands and elbow. Today i woke up a little sore but after i start moving around it gets better. I walked a good 40 minutes around the neighborhood. Still very slow pace but faster then yesterday. I will see how my body feels in the afternoon. Yesterday, i tried to go for a second walk in the evening and i was not able because of some leg pain. Today i will also try to start cutting back on the meds.
I still need my wife help to put my socks and pants in the morning...so far the only three things i can do by myself is walk, brush my teeth and type.
