I'm sure I (along with many other kids) overwhelmed my parents with this question growing up, "Are we there yet?" You see, patience has never been a strong suit of mine. In fact, it's something I attempt to work on every day, but I tend to loose my patience in doing so.
That being said, the last 10 weeks have sucked. I went back and read some of my blog posts earlier today, hoping to remind myself of how far I have come. While I am allowed to be full weight bearing, let's be realistic, you don't just stand up and miraculously walk. It's a process (what isn't) and it is a test of patience. The thing with this is though, I have no choice but to wait it out and work on things. I can get frustrated all day long, but at the end of the day, it's not going to change anything.
So here is the update. I have nerve pain, this isn't just the small pinched nerve here or there, this is shoot up your leg, wake you up in the middle of the night nerve pain. It comes on when you are least expecting it and in technical terms 'zaps and jolts' you. I have honestly never experienced anything like this before (and I would be okay never experiencing it again). It has been going on for about a week and a half now. Today the nerves in my hamstring have been hard at it. Since this is 'normal' I guess we are going to go with it for now.
Cross your fingers because I think we are going to be crutch fee in one week (I'm at one now, hoping to go to none soon!).
Stay tuned:)
