Monday Day 26
A very good day today. I woke up with a stiff back but no
pain as such so put this down to sleeping awkwardly or due to the drugs wearing
off. I had breakfast and filled myself full of drugs and felt much better in no
time at all. I went to visit the doctor had my blood pressure taken prior to
the consultation. I was pleased to see it was lower than previously. I spoke to
the doctor and at this time was feeling the usual exhaustion and explained
this. He suggested more time in bed and also reduced my medication. I am now
taking Arcoxia for inflammation , Miracid to help with any stomach problems due
to the Arcoxia and Tramadol, as and when required, for pain. I am very happy
with this as it will mean I can spend more time working to get my back muscles
in shape. He prescribed some exercises to help with this. This includes lying
on my back and lifting my legs, lying on my front and lifting my arms and legs
in a superman pose. Light yoga is ok but the message was to listen to my body
and if it hurts don’t do it. My wound has healed up nicely and I now don’t need
to cover this. Again good news as I can exercise freely without any worry about
the plaster coming off. I got home and slept as I was tired out from either the
medication or the exertion of coming home by myself I don’t know. This is
something to monitor in the next few days of recovery. I am now focusing
everything on getting ready to return to work next week. this includes
executing the exercise regime and building up my back strength. More to come in
the following days.
