...and nothing like being free of pain, or at least pain that registers off the chart! Thanks, everyone, for your good wishes and special thanks to Josie for letting you all know that I had to be readmitted to the hospital. After about 4 days of excruciating pain that even Percocet wouldn't touch, a day in Emergency, and an ambulance ride to get a CT scan to check that everything was okay inside me, I ended up at my surgeon's office actually sobbing my heart out because of the pain. When I reminded him that I have a very high pain tolerance he replied, "I KNOW you have a high pain tolerance. I saw inside you!" So into the hospital I went for another week on a regimen to control the pain while the sciatic nerve settled down and I continued to heal.I came home yesterday (Thursday) and slept through the night, waking only to take pain meds around 6:00 a.m. My "sweetie" is out washing his Jeep right now because he'd like to take me for a short drive to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. So off I go to have a quick shower and get dressed - quick for me probably means about an hour as I'm still moving veeeeerrrrry slowly.
I'll take my camera with me - you never know when you might get a good shot of something.

Leslie - I never saw anything from Josie saying you were back in the hospital! Maybe I missed it somehow.
I'm glad that your pain level is down, but I'm also very sorry that you had to endure what you did. Geez!
Wishing you many pain-free days and sending gentle hugs - D
Welcome home and don't over do it.
One piece of friendly advice don't refuse help being exhaust don't help the body heal.
I'm sending you healing energies.
Coffee is on.
On of my favourite 'phrases' and from OZ my favourite song!!!

I am so glad to hear that you're o.k. I missed the update so I was worried! I'm praying it's smooth sailing from here on out! :)
Leslie,
I'm glad to hear you're out of the hospital and hope that all continues to go well for you.
Stay strong,

I missed your re-admittance to the hospital, Leslie. I'm so sorry. Oh, I was so happy to see your post come up on my blogroll! Glad to see, too, that your sweetie is around caring for you. What a blessing.
Take care, my friend.
Your sweetie has a Jeep??? My favorite car!
I'm glad you're home, and finally on the mend. I think you have turned the corner. Spring will be here soon, and you can get outdoors and enjoy it. I still want to come and visit you when you're feeling better.
Take care!
Cheers!

I also missed that you had been back into hospital.... i do hope things are better now and that its all uphill from now on x x
Well, I didn't know you were readmitted into the hospital. I didn't see that. I'm not sure where that was...
I missed it somehow. I'm sorry about that.
I'm glad you are feeling better now though.
I have a huge tolerance to pain as well but what you are going through sounds a little over the edge!! Yikes!
(((Hugs)))
I did see Jo's comment about being re-admitted to the hospital.
So glad you have finally turned the corner.
