Pam & I walked 3 miles today! I started off stiff & sore, smoothed out in the middle and got floppy at the end of the walk. Something as simple as a nice walk with someone special, what an amazing boost for the mood. I also walked a solo, slow 2 miles on Wednesday... so things are starting to move again.
I've still not wrapped my mind around this surgery. Prior to surgery I was getting used to my deficits. Post surgery "stuff" has changed. Example: left arm/hand has noticeably less swelling and MAYBE improved function. My right arm is more tingly (C-5 distro for you medical types) and movement feels "thicker."
Most troubling is the neck, mid trapezius shoulder muscle spasm that are worse when lying down. (Not sure if it is post surgical due to grafting, plating etc... or due to new neck brace and head position). Non the less, this too seems to be improving with 3 or so hours sleep in bed, followed by 3 hours of "sleeping" in sitting in the arm chair.
I'm sure there's a lesson in here somewhere.
Boring... rws
