Summary - I need to make sure I'm drinking enough water today, I have to come up with a tracking system while I'm on the mend from surgery. I don't want to give up ground on hydration. Sometimes when you only drink when you're thirsty you would be surprised how little you drink a day. I have to stay in the 140-150oz range.
I will be walking more today to try to build up some stamina, I'm looking forward to a couple short family walks and just take it easy. I feel a little numbness in my shin today but I'm praying that it's just part of the recovery and that when it's all said and done that my back heals fully and there are no nerve issues with my sciatic root and down my left leg.
I'll be following up with the surgeon this week to get some more information on my "abnormal anatomy" that he mentioned post op. I was coming out of anesthesia so I wasn't fully aware, but apparently my nerve root has three tethers instead of the normal two which made things a little more peculiar for my surgery.
Feeling great today, just taking it easy. God is good.
God made you perfectly abnormal :)
