Day 23

I know this kind of looks like a buttcrack, but it's really not!  This is my incision the first time I was able to remove the bandage and take a shower.  Today's post is supposed to be a photo of something that has made the most impact on my life recently. 

For sure, my back surgery has made the most impact on my life. I'm sure all 5 of you that read my blog are sick and tired of hearing about my back! I feel your pain!  I'm sick and tired of dealing with it!  After the surgery my incision got infected so I struggled with an open wound for several weeks that Drew had to pack.  Now, a piece of hardware from the surgery has shifted and I'm having horrible pain again.  I've been back to physical therapy and I always feel really good when I leave, and then by that night the pain is usually worse than before.  I'm tired of feeling like I have the back of a 100 year-old!  AND it's not cheap to have a bad back!  Co-pays, prescriptions, hospital bills, ENOUGH ALREADY!

Rant over...tomorrow I'll think happy thoughts, today I go back to the surgeon to see if I have to have surgery again...
