Thanks to Pam and Joni, Teresa, Ellen, Julie, and Jana for walking with me this week! I am getting faster every day. I walk the same path at least once every other day for 15 min and try to get further than I did the last time. I am able to walk around the corner and almost all the way down Hamer now! It's still a very slow pace, but my thighs are getting stronger and are not as sore as they were at the beginning of the week.
I still feel the bulge in my back, and for some reason I am having some anxiety regarding any possibility of surgery rather it be now or later. I guess it's because I have come so far. I don't want to start over! I hope they will give me another MRI, but I doubt it. On Monday, I will ask my pain doctor to schedule another epidural. That seemed to make such a big difference. I don't see her releasing me for work yet...maybe in a couple of weeks. Now that I am only on 15 mg of morphine, I have more common sense; I realize that I need to get stronger and build up my stamina before I go hanging out with 31 active and amazing 3rd graders! Keep praying that I continue to heal.
The call is still out. If you want to walk morning, noon, or afternoon...a slow pace...for 15-20 min, just give me a call. It's really the only time I get out other than to the doctor.
Call me :) 714 501-3316
