It was warm yesterday and I did open up the windows cranked up my

stereo; into Ben Harper right now; and took a walk with the dogs. I

threw the frisbee a bit but the bending and twisting can be

painful. Those beautiful dogs just USE me...lol. My family came

home around 5pm and evidently there had been a scene at his mom's

with him and a brother in law. I felt bad because I know if I had

been there one look from me and both men would had shut up. It was

pretty bad and hubby's sister called me last evening to find out

what is really going on because my hubby never has a hard word for

anyone. Well I finally told them how unwell I am. Like spending

all that time in the hospital wasn't a big enough clue. I have

never really liked discussing this and very few people know. Just

prior to the surgery I called all my best girlfriends; an APB; they

came in from TN; VA; NC; SC; GA; and FL. and we got a hotel suit and

I told them of my condition and the choices I had at the time.

Actually we had a blast; had dinner; went to a club; danced,

flirted; kissed all the boys and made them cry!! They helped me

make my decision. My own siblings still do not know. So now there

is this big black cloud hanging around; hope it clears up before

christmas. Well I used to travel a lot before the kids; europe a

couple of times; alaska; carribean. I am I guess you could say a

naturalist; who is prissy with painted nails and makeup; I live deep

in the woods; hard to find me but I am very close to the city. When

I worked I would put in about 100miles a day just going back and

forth. Have done a lot of traveling in the south east as my eldest

daughter was a competetive gymnast. SC state champ for level 8.

She quit last year when she was a junior in HS because she want to

focus on her academics; and has been on honor roll since. She wants

to be a doctor and has already been accepted to Auburn Univ. for pre-

med. Well I dont venture too far from home or bathrooms these days

and haven't been to a fine restaurant in ions. I have recovered a

lot of patients after the placement of Intrathecal pumps. I haven't

done recovery in a few years but they used to put in a test dose

first that should last about a month before placing the pump. That

may have changed you know how medicine is a dynamic; ever changing

study.

Much Love
