on december 6th 2012 i had my microdiscectomy surgery. surgery was a success from the surgeon point of view. i was released from the hospital at 2200. this was because my bladder did not want to cooperate until them. i was adviced that i could go home when i was able to pee by myself. that is why i was released at 2200.
i vomited a couple of times the night of the surgery. once at the hospital and once on my way home. this is normal because of the iv.
while in the hospital i managed to walked from my recovery area to the bathroom a couple of times. very short and slow steps but i was able to walk.
when i got home i was also able to go upstairs to my bedroom without an issue.
around 4am i woke up because i wanted to go pee. my wife helped me to get out of bed and i noticed that i was not able to put pressure on my right leg. this meant that i was not able to walk by myself anymore without assistance. this was also a sign that the anesthesya was wearing off.
i called the surgeon office next morning and i was told to keep taking the meds on the clock and they will check back next week.
today i woke up and my right leg is ok. i feel pain but i am able to walk by myself again. i am also starting to feel sore where the surgery was. until this morning i did not noticed any soreness or pain. i am seeing minor improvement and that is good.
i am convinced that this will be a slow recovery so every little sign of progress does help.
my routine so far in these 2 days is to be laying in bed face up for 90 minutes and walk, stand up, move around for 20 minutes and so on.
looking forward for tomorrow progress...
