To everyone close around me I am strong and confident but my insides are shaking in fear. I'm scared. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers this week. I also have bipolar illness and anxiety disorder.... Thankfully my medication is working well right now. I have to get this surgery to try to reverse the damage that has already been done to my spinal cord, and I think that I chose a great surgeon... So I feel confident in his abilities... Its just the what if`s. Thanks for reading my post and please don't hesitate to share thoughts, feelings, quotes, anything.... I need gazoodles of strength spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Rachell I have had this surgery. I was up and walking around as soon as they got me back to my room. I was so shocked of how little pain I had. I had the surgery from the front of my neck. I'll pray for you Rachell and for the Staff that will be working on you. You are going to be just fine. God will watch over you and guide the Dr.'s hands and mind. Take a deep breath and breath in the peace that God will give you. Keep in touch. Blossom
