Howdy partners! Thanks so much for the messages. I have headed the corner and am really starting to heal now. The surgery surprised me a bit, as I am usually a faster healer. My kids were shocked when they first saw me out of recovery, as the incision was quite something to look at (ACDF). We made it less serious and each made a 'new' and way more exciting way upon how I got it. For instance, one way involved a terribly mean swashbuckling pirate I did the tango with. Next, did some not-so-synchronized swimming with a Great White, and my last child said it looked like I needed to spend some more time practicing with my Gin Zu knives. Lol. If you've been the immediate incision (at least mine-larger because I needed 2 fusions and they come in from the front now. So, needless to say, we made some giggles about its appearance, and of course, who wouldn't mind having just a bit more character, righto? Anyway, glad to catch up over here on my favorite stomping ground. Bless you all and happy adventurous trails filled with the kind of spirit that makes one want to walk/dance the extra mile.
