Post Surgery

I am in a whole lot of pain right now. I had surgery on my back to implant a Dorsal Column Stimulator. This eventually will take away a lot of my chronic pain. I am having so much trouble getting comfortable. I cannot lay on my back at all. I have 2 2-3 in stitches in my back where they implanted the lead and the control box and battery. I will be much better when I can lay down flat on my back. My whole body hurts. I am depressed over the pain and the fact that I know my wife will yell at me when she gets home tonight, because I did too much today. But she shouldn't have to do everything herself AND work full time on top of that. So I washed dishes and have worked on laundry. I went too far but I will be ok. Well I will sign off for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and I am going to lay down and rest.

Lots of Love,
Allen
