100%

It has been 6 months and 3 days since my accident. Tomorrow I go to see my neurosurgeon that repaired my back. I am interested to see my new x-rays and to see what all he has to say. The first 3 months of recovery I could not lift anything heavier then a gallon of milk. Now I can lift up to 15 lbs. I think tomorrow he will increase that to 20 or 25 lbs. I wonder what else he will tell me I can do??

I want to ask him how all the metal in my back works. I am sure he explained it to me while I was in ICU however the morphine mixed with total hysteria = me not really remembering!

I am continuing to do my physical therapy and working hard to strengthen my core. I met a woman that broke her L2 vertebrae 3 years ago and she said that every day she feels back pain and weakness and that she knows she will never be at 100% again. I suppose I have to set a new standard in my mind for what 100% will be!
