It's been 3 weeks since Lisa's surgery. Today we saw, Dr. Blake, her neurologist. She said all of Lisa's symptoms are normal for her recovery time and that it's "way too soon" to determine the full results. She explained that it just takes time for the nerves to recover from the surgery and also from being compressed for such a long time. For now, her headache is ranging from a 2-5/10 and can be lowered some with Toradol. (Today she prescribed Ultram.) This in itself is a big improvement from the sharp pounding headache that stayed around a 7 or 8/10 and effected most of her head. We were a bit concerned last week when she started waking up with the headache and the Toradol wouldn't get rid of it completely as it did the week after her surgery. But after our visit with Dr. Blake today, we are relieved and encouraged and we will try to be patient to wait the next two months to determine the full effect of the surgery. October 7, Lisa had her second nerve decompression surgery, this time on the nerves on the front of her head. |
