6 Months!

Yesterday was the 6 month anniversary of me leaving the hospital after surgery. Since that time I have recovered and improved quite nicely. After my last update I started working again and have been for the last two months. I am happy to report that all is going well. I have noticed some relatively minor discomfort at the surgery site since beginning work, but it isn't even something that I would take a tylenol for. I am hoping that it doesn't worsen and am only attributing it to the difference of being physically active versus mainly laying around.

I was very fortunate with my first job since surgery because my general foreman and foreman are both gentlemen that I know and they have been following my recovery, so they are really looking out for me and my well being. They have been very understanding of my circumstances and are always willing to let me take the easier job if I need to, although I have not and do not anticipate the need to 'take it easy'.

Every once in a while I do get that 'nervy' sensation down my leg, but it is only minor and it quite honestly feels to me like what people report as a ghost pain. Either way it is not something that lasts any amount of time and required no medication.

Again my report is quite favorable and hopefully it stays that way.
