Hey J&K's - it's been a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG couple of days - I hope all of you are doing well!!!
Before I get to the "details" -
Kim - watch it or I'll get my switch!!!!
Brandi -
Jen - Hugs sweetie - hope things start to look up soon!!!!

IF you are squeemish - don't read this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO - back to the dr. got ANOTHER MRI done today, labs, x-rays, ekg - you name it - they did it......... so, on Wed. I go in for cervical disc surgery - they will go through the front left side of my neck and remove some bone and seperate all the "stuff" in there in order to get to the disc, then they will remove the c5 disc, put in 2 metal rods, the bone they removed from me, as well as cadaver bone, then screw in a metal plate to hold it all in place - I will be in a brace for at least 6 weeks - then, I will have another proceedure on my shoulder and then back to physical therapy - so, this should be a really fun holiday season!!!! Seriously though, I'm nervous - I don't like the idea of surgery and have honestly put it off too long - but, it's time to get this fixed - gotta be able to hold my new grandbabies!!!! So, I'll be in the hospital for a couple of days then back home - i'll admit I'm scared, but, I know, at least I hope it works and that I'm back to my old self again soon!!!
Thank You all so much for your support and friendship - it means a lot to me!!! (and I expect my hospital room to be flooded with flowers) LOL - I'm kidding, but I did tell DH he better be prepared to shower me with TONS of sweetness for a few months!!!! LOL -- So, obviously, I won't be around for awhile - I will try to check-in as soon as I can - but, I'll text Brandi with an update and she can post for all of you!!! Thanks again - I appreciate that all of you are so kind and supportive - it really really does help and means the world to me!!!!
