Happy News!

Well thought I should share some happy news! I am now 1 year on from surgery and currently 3 1/2 months pregnant. Hooray! One of my main goals has been achieved.
I am still walking unaided - albeit not very far.
I have a check up with my surgeon on Wednesday - I am not sure how happy he will be about me being pregnant - we had been told to wait til May to try.
So far some of the old SPD pain has returned, I am already very sore at night time and turning over in bed is a bit of a mission. I am going to be more careful this time on what advice I take. I shall not be engaging in stretchy yoga or aqua aerobics contrary to what every midwife tells me!
If anyone out there has some new tips and advice on coping with SPD in another pregnancy please get in touch, there are plenty of ladies out there who want advice too.
As for the success of the operation - I had hoped it would prevent the SPD returning so aggressively in pregnancy - especially this early. However, if it gets me the healthy little baby we all want then it was absolutely worth it. I know I wouldn't be pregnant now if I hadn't had it!

One year on

Wow!

I can't believe it but I have finally got rid of the crutches this week. I have been able to walk my daughter to and from school every day.  Okay so its only 5 minutes and I do stop and rest but what a huge milestone. I was beginning to think I was permanently disabled but now I feel like maybe I will keep on improving after all.
I go back to see the surgeon in a few weeks time - I am so looking forward to walking in there!
I am even returning the wheel chair next week to the lovely lovely Red Cross who have let me have it for so long.  I am so very grateful to them.
I am still off all the pain killers too.
Oh happy days
