60 days post op


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
