That’s good. You know what they say about the squeaky wheel... 8-)

Well, I squeaked. In order to get more pain pills we had to drive to Ann Arbor for a clinic appointment, but I did get a few more and that should help me to be more active.  I guess cervical spine irritation is common with this surgery, and hopefully it will work its way out, but we shall see.  At least if I have a pain pill during the day I can more easily do the walking they insist I should do more of.   :)

Also got taken off the lasix and the potassium.  If you have ever taken potassium pills, they are awful.  Huge and don't go down easily as no coating.  Ugly medication.

They say I am doing really well.  Glad to have people be pleased with my progress, but sure would like my left arm back!!  (I am left-handed.).  :(
