Went and got a little bit of fresh air today! Felt good to get out! Still have another 5 weeks to wear my back brace and still doing short walks. Slowly and steady wins the race.

Surgery went well. According to the doctor it looked like the herniated disc was worst from the previous MRI in June.

BUT…Nerve pain is gone and praying it stays gone 🙏

NO BLT
Bending, Lifting, or Twisting. I have to wear this back brace for the next 6 weeks.

I can take little short walks 5-15 mins and increase as tolerated.

It’s very uncomfortable to sleep but I just got a pregnancy pillow and a pair of grabbers like you would use to pick up trash 😂 helps with things around the house.

Also, I’ve been super anxious that I can’t do anything for myself: laundry, bending down to pick things up, driving a car…. but thank the Lord the nerve pain is gone! 🙌🙌🙌

I feel so grateful to be able to have this surgery and hoping to continue to remain pain free. 💕🙌🙏

Thank you again for all the sweet messages. 🥹💕

Back Update:
In August of 2019 I was in a car accident. I was just shaken up a little, and a little back pain, nothing too crazy!

The following 2 years I worked as a critical care nurse, and the back pain would happen every now and then but would just kinda push through it and keep working.

I’m October 2021, I had an ambulance ride for severe muscles spasms in my back causing me to pass out, (at this time I didn’t get imaging)

I took some time off from work and the gym, and in May 2022 I started developing right sciatica leg pain causing my foot to become numb and tingle.

In June 2022 I went in for an MRI and it showed two herniations:

L4-5 3 mm
L5-S1 5 mm

At this point, I had taken Amazon Live full time and stopped working as a bedside nurse.

I also stopped all gym activity and working out 😩

At this point between physical therapy and chiropractor appointments 3X a week, I got
an epidural in August to help with my pain.

However, for the past few months the pain has gotten worse and worse. I haven’t been able to sleep, sit for a long time, and couldn’t drive a car.

But today I’m sooo grateful for healthcare and medicine. I was able to have surgery! ❤️🫶

Praying the pain won’t come back. (It’s not likely but could happen) praying for a speedy and full recovery to get back to running and gymming again!

Thank you everyone for all the love and support I truly appreciate your messages! 💕🫶🥹

I want to run a marathon this year! But it might be 2024! 🙃That’s the next big goal!

I think I’m only gonna post photos for a while…. Let’s see how long this last 🙃
