Norm Sauceman Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Today the Therapists took me for about a 100 foot walk outside. It really wore me out but it was really great to get outside. I am still taking pain meds around the clock but my voice is slowly coming back and I can sit for only limited amounts of time. Every day is a struggle, but seems to be getting better and better. The worst part of my day is trying to get myself out of pain enough to get out of bed and take a shower. I still have to have help with the simplest of things but the wife has been off work ever since the operation and is a real trooper helping me to get my life started again. I appreciate all the emails detailing your hunts and such. The wife (Sandy) prints them off so I can read them and I tell her how to reply for me. Thanks to the two folks who sent money to help my family out in this time. You don;t know how much it meant to me. The cards and letters are great and I LOVE the emails. I should be able to answer phone calls soon as soon as I get rid of what my wife calls my "sexy" voice..LOL .. It still feels like someone has a thumb on my throat and someone has a hand around my spine, but I will bust its nose soon enough and he will leave me alone..ROFL I can't tell you how much I look forward to getting back on here and talking more..It is a real bright spot in my day to get the emails and read about your hunts. Thank you so much for the prayers, they are working. I can only sit up for a few minutes so I have to go, but I will try to check back in in a few days and give a progress report. I go back to the doctors on the 16th and I hope I can get the neck brace and back brace removed..I hate being restricted...but it is a necessary evil. I have just about been able to shed the walker but still have to use it from time to time...a short time I hope.. Take care folks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
