Hi Livjoyful,
Thanks for the e-mail. I am just curious what position you did end up sleeping in. I haven't really been advised as to the best position to lay. I used to always sleep curled up on my left side. I cannot take the strain this position puts on my lower back, so I am now sleeping sitting straight up, which isn't that comfy.
I am really surprised that your x-ray showed your disc was still not totally attached at 6 months. I am a vegatarian and right now I am trying to come up with recipes that will contain lots of protein to help the growth along. I have been eating tons of fruit and vegatables every day and hope that a REALLY healthy diet will help all my healing.
I really appreciate your advise and I will be taking it easy, as you know that's not an easy thing to do, but I certainly am making a much better effort.
Thanks again Livjoyful, and I am so happy for your great progress!!
