Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Good morning All - I had my 6 week post-op appointment with Dr Hu yesterday... & even though I've done few things I wasn't supposed to, I got a big fat gold star!!! She was very pleased with my walking schedule (I'm up to a mile a day on my treadmill). She didn't even seem to mind that I drove (five hours) to my appointment. My healing is going well. She wasn't too happy that I had to bend forward a little so she could hear my creaking noise...but understood that living alone has on occasion forced me to do so. OK...now to the creaking...my pelvis is bolted into place, but my tailbone is not fused to my pelvis. So, I am creaking at the iliac joints on either side of my tailbone. My hardware is good & my fusions are good. She was NOT happy about my wheelchair ride home from my second surgery. So on my next 6 week visit she will again keep a close eye on my fusions. Other than that, it was a pretty uneventful visit. She was very happy with my progress & that I am not over using my pain meds. The appointment may have been uneventful, but traveling that far so soon after surgery has taken it's toll on me. Today is a " stay in bed & rest day " . Just wanted to share the good news with you all...........Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
