I had my follow up with my doctor today and am staying out until December 7th. The appointment ran late and I did not get out until 4:45. The doctor will call my disability folks tomorrow and extend the time. I am grateful to my doctor and really want all this pain to go away. The only time I don't experience pain is when I am in the bed. Sitting is very painful and even standing is painful. The problem I have is there is very little they can do except to allow it time to heal.

On another note, I lost another 3lbs. The doctor said they don't want to do any adjustments with all my body has been through until they know for sure my body can take it. I am glad he is being patient.
