And we're walking...

Alright, let's start with the good.  The pain medication is working well.  I haven't had any muscle spasms since I've started the new meds.  I feel pretty good, if I don't move very much and I've lost over 10 pounds.  Awesome right!  I'm sure I look great except for the falling down, inability to stand up straight, listing, and snail like pace.  I've stopped crying all the time (I think that was the steroids) so that's good too.  

So what's not so good?
I currently walk like the second guy.  I'm almost evolved! But not a lot of "bringing sexy back".  But really, I am standing all kinds of weird. Warning, some mildly mature content.  So, please refer to second guy as I run through this.  I can only stand with my knees bent and leaning forward.  If I attempt to fix this, I fall down or just go backward like a 1974 Vega with a bum transmission.  " it's stuck in reverse again!" My hips are shifted to the right and my shoulders to the left.  Like I'm trapped in a strange belly dance position.  To add to the attractiveness of this image I hold my left side higher than my right side which makes my left boob about three inches higher than the right one.  Victoria Secret models better watch their back cause I'm coming after their jobs!  

The surgery was originally scheduled for today, so I'll continue to wait.  If they aren't doing the surgery I just have got to get back to work.  I can make it about 15 feet from chair to counter top in one impressive burst of movement.  But it's exhausting, really, like I just ran a mile (ha, like I know what running a mile is like!).  Usually it's from this base to that one I fall down, so I guess I can't say I usually make it the 15 feet.  I bet I could make it 5 feet with no problem.  Please hold your applause to the end.  

I made an ice cream base yesterday, I can't believe I didn't drop dead half way through the recipe.  My pulse was up to 212 beats per minute, I was sweating, panting and hanging onto the counter top like an overly excited Great Dane.  But we now have ice cream!  Success!  

I continue to wait and see what will happen.
