This one will be brief. I noticed a big change last week in regards to pain levels dropping drastically. This week has been fairly stable. I notice more pain when there are drastic weather changes (which there have been several), but still a positive difference. I'm taking about 1/4 to 1/3 of the medications I was taking two weeks ago, so to me that's a telltale sign.
Brad and I are leaving for Iowa to see his mom after work today. We'll be spending the night in La Salle/Peru, IL, and then should be able to be in Adair around noon-1pm on Friday. The plan is that we will head home on Sunday, unless it looks like Brad should stay. In that case I'll fly back home Sunday, as I unfortunately need to be at work Monday unless circumstances are very critical. I'm glad to be able to go with Brad and to see my mother-in-law, but it will also be a big test in terms of how I physically handle the travel. I think I'll do fine, and am grateful that I have had a relatively quick recovery (compared to other fusion patients), so I will not complain. My main concern is for Brad and his mom, and trying to do anything I can to provide support.
I will try to post info on how Brad's mom is doing from the road depending on time/connectivity availability.
