How long before life becomes normal?
Hi Everyone,
I am 10 days post op from a 3 level cervical ADR-ProDisc C at levels C4-5, 5-6 and 6-7. Today was a good day.......went for a walk in the local mall (due to flooding in my hometown, outdoors walking not an option currently), did some laundry, hung out with family and friends and enjoyed a nice dinner. The ups and downs with my recovery are puzzling. I'll have a good day or day and a half and then feel totally wiped out and lethargic for a day or two. I know all of us recover at our own bodies schedule, but I would love to hear from others about the ADR recovery process they have gone through. After years of pain, I am anxious to get back to a "real life". I had planned on returning to work on January 20th.....but now am wondering if this is too soon? How long after surgery (especially multi level cervical ADR) before the rest of you started driving, grocery shopping, working, etc.?
I look forward to hearing from others!
Melody
