showed all her hardware is in place and they considered the surgery a success. She definitely
has seen some improvement, and her pain doc has taken her off most of her pain meds. That
said, she still has a long way to go as some days she has lots of pain spasms and needs to rest.
To be honest, I don’t see her being able to go for long truck rides for some time although her
UCSF surgeon says the slow healing progress is normal with this kind of major surgery.

I’ve learned how clean the house, use the vacuum cleaner, wash the dishes, and use the
washing machine. Not complaining….. just somewhat a culture shock and more of an appreciation
of what she’s done for years.

Here are some photos of the type of hardware that was installed (two sets shown)……. although she has three sets of this metal framework.
Doc said the screws are $500 each

Welcome to the world of "Mr. Mom" Howie. Ya still need to tackle the home care basics, such as changing the bed sheets, cleaning the bathroom, basic window washing, and advanced coupon grocery shopping. That one takes a lot practice!! LOL Tell Ladi Di hi for us. We ALL miss you'se guys!
