sore But I am learning a new meaning to the word pain. I thought I was in pain before but of course all that pain was in my lower back. Thanks to this surgery it is now all on my shoulders, neck and upper back and I hurt. Not mention a sore throat that just does not want to quit. But, I am not complaining after all I have been to the dark side of the moon and am back. More over I am looking forward to being 100% soon.
And this is about all the sitting a the computer I can take so... I am off to my bed and my medicines.
hugs to all

Thanks... I am working on it
As to was it everything, they said it would be. Well yes, they did tell me I would be in pain. My first words upon waking up after surgery wereOuchie, Ouchie, Oh fucking ouchie I hurt!' Not the most brilliant thought or speech but that was the only thing that registered in my mind was just how much pain I was in. Luckily, the nurse I had was immediately by my side with the assurance that the Doctor had something lined up for me to make the pain less.
My next lessons were how to ask for pain medicines. See I foolishly thought I could tough this out... Note to anybody else dumb enough to try it DO NOT trust me the pain will win and you will be left a whimpering mess of true agony. I learned, I now know a new meaning of being humble and more over being willing to admit I need a little aid for this. I can say at this point the Marine Corps lied on one aspect Pain is NOT your friend, more over it is NOT something you need to experience in order to get well.
I was lucky my surgeon was FAR wiser and able to read the type of person I was and set me up so that I had no choice and I was going to let them take care of me.
Today I managed to eat a BBQ sandwich it took me a while but I managed to eat the whole thing. Otherwise I am living on cold things, and soft things, (Jell-O, ice cream yogurt etc...) these are friends as swallowing is still rather rough. However, I think I am doing better even it if is in baby steps.
Those ends my log in for the day, still rather limited in how much time I can hold my head in certain positions but I will save the details for another posting.
