Thank you so much for your kind words. After almost dying, then being forced to spend a week in a nursing home, then all the pain of the packing and repacking, I figured things had to be getting better l. I know I can deal with future, and I have plans to get back on my horses by spring, Hope hope!!

Yes, things still hurt. My back doesn't want to hold me up for more than about 30 minutes at a time. Doc said after so many surgeries in such a short time, my back is going to take a little longer to heal. Thank heavens for pain meds. If I have to live the rest of my life on meds, so be it. I have found out that things can always get worse, so I try to look at the bright side, love my family and friends, and not to be afraid to tell them how much they mean to me.

Hugs
Mary
