Well, I didn't think it was possible, I was hoping for the pain in my hip to somehow be from the steroids, but I think I know what my newest issue is. After talking to my aunt, I realized that I have been probably been ignoring sciatic nerve pain and it decided not to be ignored anymore. Now I will say the pain from this has actually been almost more unbearable than the head issues ever were. I do go to my doc on Wed morning to deal with this issue.
As far as my head goes, I see the neurosurgeons assistant tomorrow to see how I'm doing and I cannot wait for them to see me. As far as my head goes, I do feel fabulous. I am not dealing with too much discomfort. There is still some since my head is still readjust the water pressure, but it's to be expected. I left the hospital with 20 percacets and am proud to say that as of today, 7 days later, I still have 10 pills left, which I am now using for the hip/leg pain, and informed my prime physicians office of that fact.
I would also like to say that my whole family has really pulled together and has been really there for me. This operation has changed alot of things for me, including my attitude, and that has been extended to my family in the most positive and unexpected ways imaginable. My 2 daughters are growing up a bit, my older son is looking at life differently, and my youngest son is getting an experience of a lifetime.
Anyway, I hope all is going well for everyone. Just food for thought that's helped me alot lately. There are times when you do things for others just because that not only makes them happy but makes you happy for being able to do that for someone else. I feel that happiness makes our bodies produce "happy feelings", and the happier we are, it is catchy.
