I have so many friends here in a wide variety of interests so decided here in general would be best place to post. If you happen to read this would you please pass the location of this post along.

My most fav. Dr. (not counting my Pdoc) slit my thoat (to remove 3 large bone spurs pushing againstthe spinal column in my neck). I can look at the ceiling or store things above shoulder height with no pain. I was in a neck brace for a month but now "I'm free, I'm free at last" sort of

On May 23rd, I'll be under going what my Dr. calls severe back surgery, envolving at lot of post op pain. Testing they did, found my lower back slips sideways (not back and forth) up to 1/4 inch. Dr assures me after they insert a series rods,plates, & spring like thingys I'll eventually be pain free and able to walk.

The reason I'm posting here is to let you all know it could be awhile before I will be able to post. I'll be in the hosp. at least 5 days flat on my back and wearing a back brace. After that all bets are off.

I'll probably post on facebook before I get back here because that's how my family know what I'm up to.

To all of you that I have had the privilage of posting with, listening to, and sharing with you will all remain in my thoughts and prayers.
