You are a true survivor! So thankful you are living your life and doing well. Your story is a true testament of survival! Do they know what made you slip into a coma ?
I’m 4 weeks out of the same surgery, I’m just so slow with recovery and still have a lot of pain I’m trying to stay positive. Each day I get a little better

I'm also 4 weeks post surgery and hopefully the worst is behind me. I agree that the recovery is slow and the daily improvement seems nominal. When I think back though to the hospital and early at home recovery days, I recognize how far I've come in 30 days. The one consistent message I hear from all of us is that recovery requires patience. I'm now starting my walking and PT program which hopefully accelerates my further recovery. I wish you the best and hope you too see continued healing and progress

Hi @cali7, how is recovery going? Is the pain lessening with each week that passes? Will you have further treatment after healing from surgery?
