I am happy to report that February is ending on a much happier note than it started. I've regrouped and I'm focused on healing and being thankful for the small steps of progress that's been achieved at this stage of recovery.
My biggest accomplishment for February has been with physical therapy. I've had a big breakthrough, it seems we've reached a point where the sessions have become less intense and much more tolerable. Me and my PT are noticing progress that was not obtainable prior to nerve decompression surgery. At this point last time there was not much more she could do for me and I had to stop treatment. Now we are entering a phase of new and exciting opportunities and I can hardly wait to see where I'll end up this time around.
I'm still having issues with pain and difficulty with sitting, but overall my pain is becoming more easily identified to specific areas whether than so widespread. My pain levels have also evened out, most days I'm hanging out in the 4-5 range with a few exceptions. I almost hate to say this with fear of speaking out too soon, but it appears that my days of having pain in the 8-10 range may be long behind me.
Not much else to report on at this time, just waiting for all the small steps of progress to add up to some of the bigger mile stones I've been patiently hoping and praying for.
Hi Shirlayne,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog. It is very good and I shared it with many other friends and family. I hope you are continuing to notice some improvements. I've had PNE for 8 years. It took 6 years for a diagnosis. I had my second surgery for PNE in NH in February.
