Thanks again everyone....it really is amazing. People at work are already commenting on how much happier I seem, and that it is "like the old Heather is back." Its like this huge burden has been lifted, and I have been given a second chance at life. Pain takes away sooooo much - and I feel so blessed to be able to try and get some of that back!

So - do you guys want me to post the video? Can someone point me in the direction of someone who can help? If not, I can host it elsewhere, and post a link....but would be nice for you all to have access to it, especially those wondering how the surgery is. Let me know who can help!!

I can't stop GRINNING Heather! You are on top of the world and that's how it should be! Praise God for such a successful outcome. We did pray!

I can check with a moderator on how to post your video. They might need you to request it since it's on your thread, but lemme see what we can do.
So excited to see it!

PS I sent in a request, Heather, so we'll see, k!

I've asked Jo, and she doesn't think we have embedded
YouTube linking, here, or video capability. We have size limits
on graphics either in siggies, or uploaded. A video exceeds those.

She suggests exploring YouTube.

Photobucket now has video sharing as well:

Then you would provide the link in a post to that location for readers here.

Thanks for the info about posting the video. I will see what I can do to host it somewhere, and then share the link!

THIS IS PRECISELY WHY..... I have been open, notorious, outspoken to the point of annoyance that our country should vote out the buggers and start anew with a Congress which will listen to the people!!! They write and say they listen, but then my writings go off to a black hole whence none emerge, and I get a kind "pat on the head" good little constituent all things are nice here in Washington letter. Buggers.

How wondrous for you!!! I, too, have heard, and continue to hear the same remarks from people. Life is much better now...... MRSD comes up with the cool means to go for it! Post You Tube and link here on your thread!!!!

We ALL look forward to it!
Prayin all remains well for you,

I have the video all set to go...but I want to check with my Dr - to make sure she is OK with me posting it. I really don't see that there will be a problem - as she is going to use this as an educational tool for family Drs....but I owe her that curtosy after all she has done for me. So - hopefully by mid week next week I will have a link ready

Congrats. on your pain relief! Glad to hear everything is going good for you

CoralToe, Those are the comments I got from coworkers just from the trial. Stuff like "you look better, taller, move better, happier", and so on. I think the outside verification and meeting my goals sold me and my Doc on the permanent.
