First of all, thank you for all your well-wishes, prayers, good thoughts, positive vibes and candles you all posted for me in Uniqueviking's thread - and thanks to Tenna for keeping you all updated!
As she has already posted, I came home yesterday, one day earlier than expected. Obviously, they needed my bed, and I wasn't sad about it! It's wonderful to be with my girls again, and I hope they're happy, too! Luna took a nap in my arm yesterday, and I swear, I never saw such a content, relaxed look on her face!!
I got some bad news also: When I checked my email, I noticed a bill by one of these "rip-off companies", a website from which you can download software. Now they want 96 Euro for one year, and it's a two year's contract. I don't even remember I ever registered with them, they probably "stole" my adress somewhere and now they want me to pay. Of course I won't but it's annoying. Instead of celebrating the reunion with my girls, I googled for infos on this fishy company, as this was really scaring the hell out of me. Not exactly what you need when you just came home after a big surgery, especially since I spent way too much time at the computer because of this, which was not good for my back!
Also, the health insurance is already putting pressure on me by asking how long my physiotherapy will last. They want me out of the sick money, of course, but it cannot be that they don't give you some rest after such a surgery! Times have really changed!!
With all these things going on, it was hard to concentrate on my back and my healing for the last two days. Guess I was overdoing things a bit. Of course the pain is much better - the nerve pain was gone right after the surgery - but there's this huge lump in my back, and it's getting bigger. First they thought it could be cerebro-spinal fluid coming from an opening in the spinal canal (in that case I would have needed another surgery), but now they think it's a hematoma, or this liquid that is coming from wounds (don't remember the name of it). Either way, it could take a couple of weeks until it goes away, but it should get smaller. Instead, it's getting bigger now, which makes me a bit nervous. My doctor will have a look tomorrow.
So, altogether, I'm not too happy at the moment, as there are too many dark clouds hanging over me again. All these things kind of overshadowed the joy of coming home and being with my girls...
