Tapering steroids now, 2 days left of them.  Trying to not take oxycodone if I don’t need it.  I last took oxy last night at bedtime, I did take Advil this morning.  All is progressing very well.  Dizziness is pretty much a thing of the past! I am still moving slowly and will be for a while but can’t wait to be back in the dojang.  To be able to try a spin kick is going to be amazeballs! Working on my rehab, and tomorrow I hope to start finishing my NSDAR New Horizons program.

So I am 2 days out of surgery,  I had a bit of a wig out coming out of anesthesia, some hallucinations.

I’m still waiting to be cleared from the docs but all is going better than expected,

I learned a lot about myself in this last year and I really hope to continue my personal growth as a wife, mother, genealogist, library worker, volunteer and chodan.  By next year I should be getting ready to test for EeDan (2nd degree bla...
