Surgery went great; I could get out of bed and walk with assistance about a half-hour after they wheeled me into my room and could keep food down after only a day. Much less pain than last time.

Didn't let me keep the bolt, though; apparently anything taken out of a human body has to go to Pathology to make sure it's not infected, plus they don't like giving hardware back to patients in case said patient uses it for a malpractice lawsuit. But I might get it back after my follow-up appointment.

Can only stay on for a little bit; I promised my folks I'd only send out one resume and then I'd get off so I wouldn't get a headache. Just wanted to check in.

Thank you! I'll have to ask about the bolt at my follow-up appointment. Hopefully it'll be all processed by then.

Glad to hear your surgery went well! Now let's hope you recover as quickly as possible! :D

Thank you! Five to six days in and I'm mostly recovered, if not completely back on my feet. Much better recovery time than last time!

I'm glad things went well. I hope you'll get your bolt back soon - I know it would be something I'd like to remember.

Thank you! Supposedly one of my friends had foot surgery and got to keep their stabilizing screws, so hopefully I'll get to do the same with mine.

Lousy medical regulations, taking away all the fun of souvenirs... ;) Glad to hear everything went well, though.

Also think there is some measure of irony in the post on my friends page right below yours being from GraphJam, "Why My Back Hurts"

I know! Stupid malpractice lawsuits, you ruin everything. *pouts*

Hah, if only it were as simple as "I'm sleeping on a tiny sliver of the bed" and not "My spine is borked". >__>

Six days and I'm feeling pretty good, though driving is still a nervous prospect. Thank you!
