I Got Screwed – One Year

May 21, 2017 by Trish 3 Comments

Well, folks. I made it. One year post SI Joint Fusion.  It really is a surreal feeling at this point…sitting down to write about this moment, to summarize an entire year of crazy recovery.  I remember so vividly the moment before they rolled me down the hall into surgery..the fear, the wonder, the unknown.  A … [Read more…]

I Got Screwed – Week 10

August 1, 2016 by Trish 4 Comments

Well I’m sitting at the 2.5 month mark and not where I would prefer to be. Please know that I am a person who would rather give it to you straight then have you disillusioned because I’m trying to paint a rosy picture of something when there isn’t one.  I went into this SI Joint … [Read more…]

I Got Screwed – Weeks 4 & 5

June 24, 2016 by Trish 1 Comment

Here we are with Week 4 and 5 updates…and yes, I did skip writing last week.  It was a God-awful week (what IS “God awful” anyway since God is so amazing? Hrmm) and I just could not bring myself to write about it. For those who are considering having sacroiliac joint fusion, let me give … [Read more…]

I Got Screwed – Week 3

June 10, 2016 by Trish 2 Comments

Want to do a quick update.  Today is THREE weeks post-op!  I’ve heard that the three-week mark is often a turning point in many people and I see what they mean!  The last 3 days have really been a huge improvement over the last couple of weeks.  I’m participating in that Walking Challenge for work and on … [Read more…]

I Got Screwed – Week 2

June 3, 2016 by Trish 6 Comments

I’ll be honest and raw here.  Week 2 has been hell. From chatting with people personally and not judging from fluffed-up Facebook posts, week 2 seems to be when the crap hits the fan and you wonder “what the heck did I get myself into??” The doubts have crept in, I am having to fight the … [Read more…]

I Got Screwed – Day Two

May 21, 2016 by Trish 1 Comment

Day Two is not nearly as much fun as Day One was now that the potent hospital drugs are out of my system.  I’ve slept very little and had some tremendous pain around 3 am.  I ended up taking a Tramadol in the middle of the “wait” for the next round of Hydrocodone and Robaxin … [Read more…]

I Got Screwed – Day One

May 20, 2016 by Trish 6 Comments

There simply must be a disclaimer that I am writing this about 9 hours post-op, so if there are typos…I just don’t care. :)  I want to make sure I document this for myself and for others as well.  I feel well enough to write, so write I shall! The anxiety and heaviness from so much … [Read more…]

I’m Getting Screwed

March 13, 2016 by Trish 4 Comments
I'm Getting Screwed

Well I’ve finally come to the end of my rope and am now looking at sacroiliac joint fusion surgery.  This is where my husband would jump in with how I should just let Jesus heal me. My response to this is always the same: Jesus is free to heal me whenever and however he wants. … [Read more…]
