The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Thursday gratitudes Posted by Cindy on 9/4/2025, 11:09 am Please share!

Mine Posted by Paula on 9/4/2025, 11:29 am, in reply to "Thursday gratitudes" At the neurosurgeon's office for a follow-up. The grat is what it feels like to take a shower, lotion up, put on a little makeup and real clothes, including a bra. For the past 3 months I've lived in cheap, knit capris and (now) baggy tees. I do put some makeup on and a presentable top.(no bra lol) for telehealth sessions. Getting in to see the doctor tomorrow. Made out my schedule yesterday. 5/day, 3 days a week. M-W. I feel off in doing therapy. Not quite up to speed. Nurse visits being cut down from 3 to 2 days a week because it isn't draining as much. It will.be so nice when I don't think/post about this anymore! The information you gave me about what you do about the skin stuff. Thanks!

Let us know what neuro says Posted by Krista on 9/4/2025, 1:37 pm, in reply to "Mine" Is this the doc that did the surgery and botched the aftercare up?

Yes Posted by Paula on 9/4/2025, 8:34 pm, in reply to "Let us know what neuro says" His office is 30 minutes away and he spent 5 minutes with me. He took the dressing off and said he questions whether or not I still need to have the wound packed ( that's what can make the itching so bad). He thinks covering might be enough.

5 minutes?! Posted by Krista on 9/5/2025, 8:00 am, in reply to "Yes" I'm so sorry this guy continues to be incompetent. He THINKS the covering is enough. How much longer does he think for the wound to heal? How about the residual pain? Any thoughts on how long before you'r be bouncing around like Tigger?

I think Tigger-r is not in the cards. Posted by Paula on 9/5/2025, 9:53 am, in reply to "5 minutes?!" As sign as I'm done with homecare, I want outpatient PT. Then, I'll know what's possible.

As long as world travelling Posted by Krista on 9/5/2025, 4:27 pm, in reply to "I think Tigger-r is not in the cards." without difficulty is, that's all you need right. You're your own kind of Tigger-r and I just hope hope hope this is all going to come out to be a great outcome after all you've been through, Paula

Thanks, Krista Posted by Paula on 9/5/2025, 7:26 pm, in reply to "As long as world travelling"

Paula Posted by Beverly on 9/4/2025, 11:31 pm, in reply to "Yes" I am hoping he gets it right. It makes me dad that you still get the itching etc. Keep us posted, sweetie.
