Mitchell had his 2-week follow-up doctors appointment today. The doctor said he was doing really well. The incision looks great - he is standing straighter - the doctor was pleased with how Mitchell looked...much happier than the last time he saw him at the hospital. The doctor said that Mitchell should start taking his stronger pain medication only at night before bed and to take extra strength Tylenol during the day. He also said that Mitchell should continue to increase his activity during the day. He can go into the pool and move around there! Mitchell is not normally the most "every-ready bunny" type, so pray that he will be motivated to start moving more. His next appointment is in four weeks...on August 15. By that time, he should be able to do more things. He is still restricted as far as bending, lifting, and twisting...so no dance moves for another month.
The drive and the appointment wasn't too bad for Mitchell. We left home around 1:30 and we were home by 4:00. He was tired out but the pain was not too bad.
Once again, thanks for all your prayers and support...this will be the last post. I am grateful for the blog as a tool to get information out! Modern technology...it's the best!
Pam
