WOOOOHOOOO COMFY PANTS!!!!!
Great to see you out and about, you seem to be progressing rather quickly with your recovery, keep up the hard work Sarah, we are all rooting for you!!!!
She stands!!! Those physical torturers, I mean therapists, must be doing a great job!Hello friends,
Sorry week has been super hard and occupational therapy and physical therapy have been just super painful and exhausting but I managed to stand on my own for about five minutes. Working to strength my legs muscles again and working to being able to apply pressure. Stairs are super hard for me, and showers as well. So sorry I am quiet, just been hard week. So this is me right before pt, also showing the scar is healing finally and finally comfy pants that fit over my leg brace.
Also they let me warm back up in my super warm bath robe.
. Some co workers came and took me to work, where they assisted me in getting around to shadow. Granted (I was not actually on duty or actually working), but they said they missed me. Those slick floors really have me worried. One of the nice house cleaners (clean the rooms after patients), said they would apply sand paper to what ever I use and on the bottom of my shoes. I love the idea but I can’t tie my own shoes it’s hard to bend my legs where I can. So it’s gonna be bunny slippers .
Ooh, this is a bad one, and true example of head trauma. I hope the sutures have healed well and hair growth has resumed. And youre right, we see pain but don't comprehend pain Until we've endured it ourselves.“What doesn't kill you makes you, makes you stronger”
I would like to smack the person who coined that phrase. But it is so true. Sarah, I am not sure if you saw on my thread that I went through a pretty rough time last January. Gosh in some ways it seems like yesterday because I’m still dealing with some of the problems, and other what day it seems like forever ago. Regarding the pain, pain can be debilitating emotionally and physically. It’s hard for other people who’ve never been through that kind of pain you’re experiencing (Especially the healthcare providers) to understand what you’re going through. They think they understand because they’ve seen it so many times. But they really don’t.
And believe it or not even though at this time you’re still being traumatized by your experience time truly does heal all pain. And one day you’ll look back and not even remember how bad it truly was. You will only remember when little things happen to remind you.
As I sit here reading your story and seeing your pictures I am reminded of what I went through. And my heart breaks for you because I do remember how hard it was, and how much it hurt. I can only say that with time you will get better.
Very recently, I realized that the feeling of hardware no longer bothers me as much as it used to, and it hurts less. I have included a few pictures for you in case you did not see them in my thread. The last is me on my ATV. I was afraid I would never ride again. But that is 5 months after surgery!
The girl who used a tonka truck me move a concrete pad under her dirty spider filled crawl space will triumph over pins screws and pain.
, and as most in the health care world know, that’s sometimes really the best medication. Been doing well trying some of my other normal activities and it’s been interesting. I did go to a xmas party for work and the floors were a little wet. Wheels chairs don’t work too well on hard waxed surfaces. Just kinda had to look sheepishly and think a little help. A co worker well dragged me out lol and she was bombed with hugs. I can’t say I wasn’t either it was just little harder is all. Definitely cold weather really makes things hurt and I can really feel the cold in my legs where they put the rods and screws in.

Yes his sutures were fantastic and how little hair he shaved was very kind. He did however staple the dressing to my head. Stapled through a dressing to my head! And did not suture the incision in my forehead and when the glue failed I had exposed subcutaneous fat. You can not even see the scar though.
Nor can you find the scar on my scalp by sight. You have to find the dent and the hardware by touch. 
Hello,
So I definitely need a consensus my friends on something. I had a friend over in which she brought her bf along that was a first meeting. (He wasn’t as polite and nice as I thought but oh well). Anyway he also does a saltwater reef, and liked two of my corals a lot. In which he bugged my all night and offered me money to take them home tonight. In which I responded as to I have to sleep on it. So he wanted my Aussie lobo, and my multi colored trac, in which the price he offered to me threw me off. He said since their every day common corals they are not worth much, but he would give me extra because he is nice.
I have had these for awhile, but they were much smaller. When I purchased them, it was 145 for the trac, and 75 for the lobo. I’m certain the lfs marked them up etc, but he offered me 15 for the lobo and said that was generous, and 40 for the trac and he said that was very generous. So 55 for both and I just don’t think that was correct. I have a war face scoly and he said he would do that one also for 50 to add to his collection. Those are normally like 150 I have thought.
Am I wrong or just greedy help
Ops here are the pics of said corals
