The Good News:
I have been cleared to run and for light road biking.
I have been advised to slowly stop wearing the "apparatus". (YAY! I can look normal again!)
I can return to work (my paid normal job) at full duty as soon as I feel up to it.
The Bad News:
The sciatic pain may never go away. There is too much scar tissue around the nerve, since this was my second surgery.
I get to start PT soon. Normally this would go under good news, except PT sessions are $40 a pop.
It will be a few months before I can get back to mountain biking.
It will be a few months before I can be released to full duty as an EMT.
So yeah... The bad news definitely outweighs the good news. BUT there WAS good news! So YAY! I am truly excited to start being able to use my body again. I am going to go for a run/jog tomorrow evening. I am so excited! (That, and I really need to lose the extra 10 pounds I packed on while immobile!) And I will start my shopping excursion for a road bike this weekend after getting a hair cut!
Wish me luck!
