I don't think Sir Edmund Hilary had a tougher final few steps to the pinnacle of Everest as I had climbing the 6 steps up to my back door. What I can tell you is that my triumph was as satisfying. Carolyn by by side with Art behind I repeated best foot up, secure, weak foot followed. Got to the top, turned the doorknob and I was inside my home.
I'm very, very weak and require a ton of physio. Mostly doing exercises from my back to strengthen my legs enough to walk. I can walk around the house with my walker and Carolyn beside me and hopefully by early next week I'll be able to walk the driveway. Steps are my nemesis right now. It'll come though.
Other than that yesterday was an amazing day. It is soooooooooo great being here in my own bed and seeing the Dawgs for the first time in a month. Carolyn is an amazing nurse. She is also amazing patient with me.
Funny thing is that through all this getting home and concentrating on healing my back we both kinda forgot about the cancer! I guess we are taking it one step at a time. Kinda weird but hey, we focus on what is immediate, my back.
I'm not sure how many disc they supported with screws and cross members but perhaps 8-10. I wanted to get a copy of the x-ray but when we got the ok to discharge it was forgotten.
So nice looking out MY window. Have a great day everyone.
DIPPY DOGS later today! WOOT!
