I am here...Spent a lot of Christmas parties answering questions on how I am feeling since my surgery earelier this year. All I can answer is I am still in pain and docs feel it could be up to 2 years before I hit my max. recovery. And that no, I am not back at work yet! Sitting still at dinners and while chit-chatting was a chore, and I have been in a LOT of pain...of course, for some reason I never seemed to have my meds handy.

I start the new year off with a visit to my neuro, then I should be visiting with a new Physiatrist, finally and Pain Mgt Doc and a dietitian. I will be hitting PT, chiro and MT again and really going to put some effort into getting out to 2 or 3 aqua fit classes a week.

I hope everyone had a festive holiday season and I wish, for all of us, a more pain-free 2008!
