My life as of late...

- lay in bed
- meds
- NOT get comfortable
- meds
- have KMFT take me to the bathroom
- meds
- cry in frustration from not being able to get comfortable
- meds
- be forced to get up and walk because "It'll help in the long run."
- meds
- more being uncomfortable

Going from being a completely independent woman to having to rely on KMFT to do everything for me is a huge change emotionally, as well as physically. EVERYTHING. I can't even get out of bed without her help muscles.

Every motion I make is supposed to be fluid, yet my spine must stay aligned at the same time. The tiniest bit of give makes me feel like my entire body is being crushed. I really hope this fixes my pain, because this is ridiculous.

Not to mention I got discharged from the hospital on the 3rd day. Everyone else I've stalked on YouTube got to stay for 5. What kind of crap is that? My insurance pre-approved 5 days. You don't want their money, hospital? I barely remember being in the hospital, so it's not like I was just doing so awesome and being so alert they just knew I would be fine at home...

There are no awesome, convenient handles on the beds here. There are no nifty buttons that make my bed sit up when I want it to. If I want to be on a slope, as with the hospital bed (and the only thing that feels good to me), KMFT must build it with pillows.

KMFT is the only thing/person that I don't have a complaint about. (Trust me, I could go on for days with mass amounts of profanity...) She and her parents have been absolutely perfect angels to me and she is the reason (previous to the surgery and I'm sure for a long time coming) that I don't mind waking up in the morning.

  15. I have been browsing on-line more than 3 hours as of late, but I by no
    means found any interesting article like yours. It
    is beautiful worth enough for me. In my opinion,
    if all web owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the internet will likely be much more useful than ever before.
