I really appreciate all the input you guys have given me!

I saw the spine doc yesterday. An Xray showed that my fusion is okay. I will need another MRI to determine the condition of my nerves and whether or not I still have a fluid build up.

We are heading to Arizona for a couple of months so I am going to wait until we return to do another one. Having the fluid asperated didn't make all that much difference anyway.

I'm back on antidepressants and gained 10 pounds in two weeks! I hate that side effect. I eat anything that can't out run me.

Thanks again for the support. Since my step daughters suicide in 2003 my depression has been awful. At times OI just want to give up and join her. I get so weary of the constant pain.

Your encouragement has helped me to pull through.
