I'm Home!!
It was a rough morning, started with a real bad bout of nausea, but after a phenegren (sp?) shot I managed the ride home very well.
I've been given some exercises to do for this right leg that isn't working too well. According to the therapy records they have down that a hemorhage is the culprit - makes sense as I did lose a lot of blood after that first surgery, I'm sure I did something when I was so nauseated and 'tossing cookies' that first night. It explains the need for the units of blood too. I think the Dr. might still be debating whether is was that or an allergic reaction to the BMP (bone growth hormone) that they used in the fusion. In any case, they halted the progression of the numbness with that second surgery and I'm feeling happy happy!
My mother stayed with me, my sisters came over and it was a very nice to be out of the hospital.
Now I get to figure out how to do things here at home. A challenge to say the least! I'm up for it though :)
