Prelude To A Six Month Microdiscectomy Anniversary Post
I now know why the surgeon forbade me from vacuuming after my surgery. Apparently, he removed the vacuuming common sense part of my brain. Today, I started doing a tiny bit of vacuuming just to clean up one of the fans we keep on the bathroom counter because the master bedroom gets so damn hot, unlike the rest of the house, which has cross-ventilation. Anyway, I did a lovely job cleaning the fan, then thought I’d vacuum the counter and get some dust & dog treat crumbs sucked up. What did I do? Sucked up a tube of Phoenix’s expensive eye meds. It’s not in the canister, it’s not in the hose, it’s trapped someone in the middle of the vacuum, to be heard, not seen. And this, this is why post-surgical patients should never vacuum again.
I’ll update more later about the success of my surgery and how I’m feeling so much better than before the surgery...and quite a bit after too. Uh, right after I pick up my refill of pain meds at the pharmacy. Yes, while I’m much much better, I still have some bad mornings and evenings.
