THERE IS A PICTURE OF HIS SCAR BELOW. STOP NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE IT.
He has yet to experience the rollercoaster he's we've been prepared for.
Which is great...
But mentally? It's tough on him.
To feel this good and knowing he can't do anything yet.
I'm constantly reminding him to take it easy.
And I know it gets annoying.
But I just see the anxiety building in him and I can tell he's about to go do something.
But he won't.
He knows the risks of re-herniating and going through this shit again is NOT WORTH IT OMG SO NOT WORTH IT.
So he's hanging in there.
His post-op appointment is this Friday at 1pm.
He's hoping the doctor will clear him to go back to work the following week (the 19th).
3 weeks post surgery.
He's feeling really good still.
He went to his post-op appointment on Friday, November 13 and the NP seemed surprised and commented that he's a "fast healer."
He is still on restrictions - even though he HAS been cleared to go back to work! He still cannot lift more than 15 pounds, he cannot bend or twist in any way.
Staples were removed and things look good.
So.
He goes back to work Thursday.
13.5-hour shift.
He's not supposed to stand for too long. Nor is he supposed to sit for too long.
Let's see how it goes.
