4. I feel fortunate

mine has not been anything like that. I could feel my foot and the lower part of my leg right after I woke up from surgery. Had not felt that on the left side for over a year. The stabbing pain in my back and leg is gone. It is the weakness I worry about but I think I should be counting my blessings .
