Dr. Vic here... Kelly has taken a bit of a turn today, quite bad pain in her right leg - she says herself it's her own fault because yesterday she overdid it with exercise and sitting too long (20 mins). Kelly fully understands what she needs to do in order to get mobile (because she's done it before) but this time it is different because the new hardware in her back is an unknown and needs to be respected.
Kelly is worried whether there is any long term damage to the nerves in the right leg because whilst it doesn't seem to be getting any worse it's not really getting any better. Following such a major problem last week Dr. Vic believes the nerves are still badly inflamed and raw, they need time to mend. After all, its early days yet (just 5 days since the last op).
Apart from pain in the right leg there is no wound pain and there doesn't appear to be any back or left leg pain (but I don't want to speak too soon). Despite the complications and ongoing pain Kelly is still really pleased with the operation because she feels her spine is more stable and supported than it has been for years and that in itself is a "WIN"

Sounding much better... I'm glad to hear about your back stability Kelly and for sure the pain will start to subside slowly... nothing wrong really with doing too much one day - that's how you learn, nature just can't be rushed. Keep up the good spirits and get well soon.
Love Lynn
Hey Kelly and Vic,
Thinking of you and here's hoping for a quick recovery! Will keep checking in.
Love
Bernadette
I did wish you a speedy recovery but don't take it like you have to do everything at once. It does take time. Your leg did go through some trauma so give it some time. Just keep an eye on it. If it was your fault learn from it and go on. Thinking of you
Take care Joanne
