I guess I over did it a bit yesterday, but it felt so good to be outside. I didn't sleep well last night, I've got an earache. Taking Advil Sinus & Allergy seems to help, so I'll do that in hopes of fighting off any kind of sinus infection.
Many naps in my future today.

I'm a firm believer in practicing naps. Always looking for perfection.

When I had my cervical fusion, I was surprised at how tired I was too. I thought - hey - little bit of bone, little bit of fusion - no big thing. But it really knocks the stuffin' out of ya!

Today I actually felt like I had a bit of energy. I hung out in the backyard with Chloe; she is working on a righteous hole by the fence
Only one nap today, I'll probably be in bed by 9:00!
I've discovered the removable pads on my collar can be washed in the machine. Stuck them in a bag and used the Hand wash setting. Yay, clean pads for tomorrow.

Dogmama - I've finally got the recliner bed figured out. Once the foot part is up and locked, I put one pillow in the space between the chair and foot rest, then another on the foot rest itself. Top it off with a nice cozy quilt and I'm a happy camper.
Only got two collars, but I have 4 sets of pads. The sweet queeny ortho guy liked me

Wow! Glad to hear your surgery went well... anything with the spine is scary to me.
Best wishes for an easy recovery... I'm with the other ladies: definitely take your meds!

Snap-been a while since I checked in..just wanted to say that I'm glad things are slowly getting better for you. At least your beginning to be able to sleep somewhat comfortably. Then your starting to move around some. Those are all great. I hope that your recovery contiunes to progress in good fashion.

Bump!
Had my check up today -- I no longer have to wear the collar 24/7! Yay! I can also drive a little, but no more than absolutely necessary. I can't wait, I get to sleep in my own bed without that collar, maybe I'll sleep longer than 4 hours!

Not fair - I had to wear mine for ~ 6 weeks!
Seriously - big congrats. Let me know if your neck feels longer - mine did.

Oh yeah, neck feels stretched! I wonder what my height is, last time at the dr's it was 5' 5 1/2", maybe I'm back to 5' 6" now.
I still have to wear the collar if I go out -- riding in a car, walking. He said to slowly wean myself off of it. I find my neck gets sore after having it off for about an hour.
Dogmama, do you have hardware in your neck too? Maybe that's why I don't have to stay collared for 6+ weeks. Pic below, not my neck, I actually have 3 screws, this one only has 2.

Yup, I have hardware and an x-ray card to carry through airport security. They fused it with bone from my hip - you too? They fused C4-C6. I have lupus & sometimes that can mess with healing - if my body thinks the fusion is an enemy & decides to attack it - thankfully that didn't happen & that's a prime reason I used my own bone.
My doc tends to be anal retentive - he admits it. Orthopaedic surgery = sterile carpentry.
