Well I'm home from the hospital and recuperating, slowly! I'm not sure if it's the steroids I've been on for about 2 years or what; but I'm exhausted! It sucks; because I had planned to walk the dog, go anywhere and everywhere! I heal very quickly; generally. But this; I'm still exhausted and it's nearly 2 weeks since my operation!
It doesn't look that much when I've had my head operated on 27 times and they shave my head and dye it pink! (I'm allergic to Iodine, so they use pink stuff) - but my God. It has been hard. I fall asleep at all hours of the day!
No... It aint my butt; it's my lower back! It just looks like another crack! I had to laugh, my neurosurgeon, Nick Hall was smug the next day. Why? Because he said he made sure he didn't wreck my tattoo, he went through between letters! (it is old, Latin meaning "love and loyalty" - two things that are a must for me)
The upside is that although I'm exhausted, my legs feel pretty good and I'm not taking the steroids so that's a win. I'm not sure if it will get better with time, but even if it doesn't - I can live like this. I'm trying to stretch the muscles in my legs and lower back but they've been almost petrified, so I guess it will take time.
We went to see Beth Orton the other night, the Squeeze and I. In preparation I spent the whole day in bed. She was fantastic I have to say, but I had my eyes closed through most of it and only opened at the end of each song to clap. Exhausting though it was, it was worth every second of it.
I waited and waiting for her to sing "Stolen Car" which I absolutely love! It was the very last song!
