Prayers and angels surround you on this newest endeavor to help your spine situation. Yes, Gerry is so right commenting that you have a LOT going on! Even so, there you are offering suggestions to your family in a helpful way about many things...... you are a special person just as your loving family is supportive as well and special.

I sincerely hope that ambulance ride went well, the blocks and paddle emplacement done just so, and that you will recover well and fully. So very much work on your poor spine. Yes, you must have appeared a fright to your family and concerned others. Just as my family and friends have been saying to me lately they can see in my face/my eyes/hear in my voice the very real difference this most recent fusion made in my personal situation. Pain takes its toll on you in a very real, up close, and personal way!
