my staples are itching and driving me crazy. they come out on the 11th. i wonder if they have some sort of giant version of a desktop staple puller. i hope so because that would be hilarious.

the cut in the front ended up being about 6-7 inches across and the back 7-8 inches vertical. the back has the staples - makes me look like a serious badass ;).

i'm getting pains that feel like "growing pains" when you're a kid. i'm assuming that's the bone growing.

i'm able to walk a few feet without my walker now, so that's a plus.

it's weird, my spine itself doesn't really hurt too bad. i mean, other than the giant slice down my back (makes me look like i have a really long butt crack, lol). no sciatica. for the first time in YEARS. but the incision in the front - jesus it hurts. any time i cough, talk loud, laugh, sneeze. it hurts worse than the things they fixed!

that's about it. just working on rebuilding.
