I'm 2 today
« on: September 29, 2006, 08:26:28 am »
Celebrating the 2 year aniversary since my surgery today.  Sure glad it's not 2 years ago. I've come a long way since then and although all the residual post op problems still play havik with me, I am doing pretty good. Thanks to all of you for your kindness and support.

Patti,

That's fabulous! We still need to get together for lunch. Sorry I've been such a slacker. I'm blaming it on my 4 crazy little kids...

Nice try Britney,  But it's not the 4 crazy little kids that are causing it, They are just little, but it be they that cause the mom to go a little crazy!!!  me thinks. Of course we can always blame anything we want to on the AN for now on.  Just let me know if and when you might be coming to SLC and I;ll meet up with you. I was just down to Souther Utah, and may be going again real soon, Isn't syracuse in the south part?? Is it clos off  I-15? maybe I could jst stop on the way next time.

In honor of the removal of the blasted little buggar, I went in this morning and got a chiro neck adjustment and an 1 hour massage, mostly all on my troubled neck.  Neck feeling much looser now. kinda having trouble balancing this bowling ball on my shoulders with the neck all loose, maybe I need to lie down and pretend I can't do anything more today, I've had such a rough morning.  LOL
