I can't get on the website to write a new blog. So this way: the operation Friday went well, but was VERY long (11 hours). I stayed at the hospital till Monday where at the beginning I needed help to roll over in bed, and by Monday I was showering with help. Monday my parents came to pick me up and since then I've been with them. Today's the first day I'm on internet again!! But now, after 15 minutes or so, I'm totally exhausted.
Now a few days later, I have a lot more energy. My balance is improving so that soon I probably won't be using the walker inside anymore. My memory already feels almost back to normal. But my body is shouting that this was a heavy operation and fever is being suppressed by medicine. My sleeping is extremely influenced and the nights pass in long, sleepless hours. The pain in my neck is much less, but still there. Not everything is cookie and egg (as we'd say in Dutch).
