I have battled a back disease for the last 15 years, it's gotten progressively worse the last year. I am an active working mom and I love it that way. I have been told the last 2 months that if I don't do something fast I will be in bad shape forever. SO....I am going to do it, have the surgery that is much needed. It's looking like next week. I will be out of commission for anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months.
I am sad, devastated and can't believe that I am old enough to have this done. It's scary...
AGAIN WISH I HAD BETTER NEWS!

Let me know what you need...
The last time I had a major surgery, they told me to take 6 weeks off. Which I did. I was up and around with in a couple of days. I edited every video in our home and re-did every single photo album! I (slowy of course) cleaned out every drawer and cabinet in the house...
AND...Church people brought meals!!
(I always made sure I was laying on the couch when they came to the house)
Hey, when God gives you lemons...
YEP!
I'm there for ya sister!!
We might actually get to sit down and visit now!

Hi Heather, I am so sorry that I haven't called you to set up that dinner. Now I really feel bad! We have been so busy getting our taxes ready. Finally got them to the accountant this morning, and now Steve is leaving to go out of town shortly. I know what it is like to live with chronic pain, and it is no fun. I have had 2 surgeries in the past 2 years to finally be able to say that I live pain free now, other than the occasional old age pains! I wish and pray that your surgery is successful and that you are back on your feet in no time. Please let me know if I can help in any way!

Thank you Steve...prayers are appreciated. JULIE...you encourage me SO MUCH! Pete, WOW thanks for ALL your offers...I just look forward to seeing you again soon. Diane, your words of encouragement help and give me hope, yes dinner for sure when I am back on my feet!
OK...since I am not going to update my blog with this stuff often, here goes for those who are reading this...I have 2 more appt. on Monday and Tuesday with the neurologist and a bone scan. This will help determine the best surgery options. Yes, I am scared but ALL YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT HAS BEEN GREAT! Love you all!- February 22, 2008 at 9:11 PM
