I had a lumbar spinal fusion Friday the 18 and was supposed to be in the hospital a week minumum. I had 4 bone grafts, 2 titanium rods and 8 titanium screw put in to replace 2 completely degenerated disc and 2 that were 70% deteriorated. However I was getting out of bed and into a wheel chair to go outside to smoke so they let me come home today instead. I cannot lay on my back it causes muscle spasms, I can't lay on my stomach because they are afraid it may ripp the incision loose. So that leaves just my sides. Both hips are giving intense pain to lay on them even with the pain pills amd muscle relaxers but I have no place to sleep sitting up. My left hip is the worst and makes it really hard to get out of bed even with help. I know God can ease this pain as he is the great physician. But could there be a reason he is not easing it? Please pray that God will either ease the pain or let me know why he is not. Thank you and God Bless you all!!
