April 7, 201016 yr comment_1980 Hey guys. Figured I'd make my presence known here. Finally drug myself on the computer long enough to get signed up. I'm glad to see the site back up and running. Do we have a backup this time??? heheWell, I'm still not in the best of shape. This is taking alot longer than I thought to feel better. I am just not feeling any better yet. I have a new brace now, thats not so bulky (and damn ugly!!), but it doesn't feel like my neck is ready for it. It doesn't give me hardly any neck support. The surgeon also said I can sleep without the brace on. I looked at him like he was nuts. I asked him if he realized how much I move around in my sleep. He said it'd be fine, but I'm afraid to do it. WooHoo Gamercide is back!!! Report

April 10, 201016 yr comment_2677 The surgeon also said I can sleep without the brace on. I looked at him like he was nuts. I asked him if he realized how much I move around in my sleep. He said it'd be fine, but I'm afraid to do it. I know exactly what you mean. I had the same feeling after my arm operation. My arm totally didn't feel ready and when the doctor first unwrapped it and he made me lay down. He said that all the blood drained from my face and it looked like I was going to faint. The surgery was 7 months ago and my arms been out of the sling and everything for months and months now, but still feels kinda weird if I move it wrong. Report

I honestly don't think its time. I am still having to much pain. Its not like a pain if I move wrong though, its just pain. I'm trying not to freak myself out at this point, because I'm worried about how I still feel. At this moment my neck feels worse than it did before the surgery. I know that sounds dumb, of course its gonna feel worse, I just had major surgery... but I thought I'd finally getting some relief to all my pain by now... Report

I know that sounds dumb, of course its gonna feel worse, I just had major surgery... but I thought I'd finally getting some relief to all my pain by now... Aww...I'm sooo sorry Rose. That is totally how it is though. I've had a few surgeries and the pain goes from bad (before the surgery) to quite a bit worse. It will get better though, but it's very gradual...excruciatingly so. Be sure to voice your concerns to your doctor, though. It's so easy to be intimidated and just do what they say because they have that degree on the wall, but the more information they have (like your pain level and such) the better job they can do.My thoughts are with you.

April 15, 201016 yr Author comment_3472 I so totally get what you mean about the intimidation!! Most doctors are intimidating to me, not all. But my surgeon is definately one of them! I can never get out all I need to with him. Luckily I saw his PA yesterday. He's a much nicer man too, seems more caring idk. But he doesn't seem too concerned about my pain. I wasn't able to quit smoking (I know, I'm weak!!), so he said my healing time will take longer. He also said if I'm not comfortable sans neck brace that I don't have to completely remove it. But I do have to start moving around my neck a bit. Not really excercising it, just turning slightly to losen it up. Its incredibly stiff!! Because I have been so careful with it and not moving it, (my mom says I walk around like a statue) I have to wait atleast another 2 weeks to drive. But I'm not so sure I will be able to by then. But regardless if I am or not.... my mommy is leaving for home, back to Arizona on the 3rd . I'm scared to be on my own. But I'm damn sure ready for mom to go home for every other reason! Shes driving me INSANE!!! Report
