I'm home at last. Lots of complications once they cut me open - not least of which was the massive scar build up from the previous surgeries. There was also a huge amount of bone growth around the L5-S1 area which was basically chipped away with a chisel then removed piece by piece with tweezers. Good times. Anyway, a lot of the bone was growing though nerve and around disc and encasing the whole thing. Dr said it was a miracle I could still walk - which, in reality, I barely could do.
So listen to your auntie Mrs-B, boys and girls, if your back hurts, and your dr tells you you need surgery - go get it right away and don't turn yourself into a paraplegic like I did!
I'm still super stoned, and will be for another week. So I'm going off to blanket bay now and hope to feel better when I wake up. On Thursday, Maybe on Friday, Possibly later. And Tim deserves a medal; he's been unbelievable. I am the luckiest woman in the world,
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers - I knew each and every one of you were with me and it meant the world.
I love you all, I truly do,

Hallo.
I've been home now for two days and it's been a pretty rough ride. My body is so wounded and I am pretty deeply into what I expect to be PTSD. The surgery was much worse than either I or my surgeon anticipated, and I suffered heavy delirium for 3 days. In an attempt to bring me back to myself and minimize the damage the delirium was doing to my brain, my doctors cut my pain meds, at which point I screamed in pain for another 3 days. I had certain experiences there I felt violated both my body and my privacy and I've been left with an ongoing anxiety disorder that I expect to continue for some months.
To that end, I've decided to have a break from PS for a few months, and come back healthier and stronger when I feel up to it. I'm simply too exhausted to have anything to offer this wonderful community, but I wish each and every one of you joy and blessings and all things sparkly.
With much love always,
Mrs-B
