They say slow and steady wins the race … slow and steady is not something that comes naturally but looks like thats the way recovery will progress. Today is a week since surgery and things get incrementally better each day. Celebrated the 1 week anniversary with a trip out for a coffee this morning.

Pain and movement etc get better each day, the biggest issue has been sleep, with the wound sites healing sleeping on my back is pretty much the only option and its not one that works well for me.

Continuing to work on reducing/optimising the pain relief and getting a balance between rest and movement to ensure fast and proper healing will remain the priorities in the coming days but everything seems to be well on track.
