@sherrym25 hi Sheri I’m still at Mayo Phoenix still having a lot of pain haven’t got a brace that fits right yet today’s day six I think hope to have the right brace in the next day or so then they want me to go to an acute rehab rehabilitation hospital for maybe five days?
We’ll see I’m having a tough time using this phone as a computer. I should’ve brought my laptop and should’ve brought a friend to fly back with me. I think I’ve got that resolved hopefully soon.?
Hope you’ve been for a ride on your young horse👍

Hi Bob! I’m glad to see you are past the surgery and working out the rehab details. Keep up the good work!

@rwdixon4 Hi Bob, I’m so sorry you are struggling with pain. When we talked the other day, I could hear it in your voice. Please make sure they’ve got good control of your pain before you leave. I’m glad they plan a rehab facility for you. Have they said when you might go there?
Are you doing good with your walks out on the floor?

I have not ridden my young horse yet…. but I did run the tractor around on the arena to smooth out the sand after all the storms we’ve had here. Next step is to start working my colt.😊

I know what you are going through right now, but it shall pass. My life is so wonderful now with my “new” back and yours will be too.

You are in my prayers, Sherry

Bob, I am so glad the surgery is behind you and that you will be going to rehab. Stay in rehab as long as you can. The stronger you are before you go home, the easier it will be. I was in rehab for 10 nights. I was also weaned off all pain meds during that time. ( I had an Rx for Oxy afterward, but only took a few of the pills after I was released.)
You're pain will go away!
Best of luck to you in your recovery and healing. 🙏😊 Nadine
