Good afternoon J so as most of you know
the 25th was 2 months post op for my surgery. I have been back to
work now for almost a month. The headaches have been gone and things are
getting better each day. My neck and my back are still very sore. I spoke with the
Medtronic rep and he said to expect to be this way for about 6-8 months maybe
longer. I will take the back discomfort over the headaches. Work has been a
battle with sitting for a long time and being cramped up in the ambulance. We
have also been very busy with calls running 8+ every shift in 12 hrs. My
partner and a few others have been a huge help with lifting and such. Not much
else has changed. Nicole and I have gone camping a few times and we are going
again this weekend Sunday-Tuesday. I am glad we are able to go and spend time
together. Over the last few weeks I have used the stimulator remote less and
less. It seems as if I have found the settings that work. I have only had a few
bad days where I have a very slight headache (nothing compared to before
surgery) Not too much else to update on, just still very glad I was able to
have the surgery. I hope everyone is well and please stay safe this 4th
of July as I will be working J
