The nurse is getting a hold of one of the doctors to see if I can get out of here this evening. I did some stairs and moving around better than I was the past few days. I'm off the "Happy" juice and now have "Happy" pills. We'll see what happens.

Wow, Tiffany, that is a fast hospital stay if you get out today, only 3 days! You sound great. Best of luck to you in the weeks to come. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
I saw in your signature the degrees of your curves. I was just wondering what levels did you get fused to?
Keep in touch!

Actually I'm getting out today. Apparently there were a lot of communication errors between doctors and nurses yesterday. Nobody updated anyone on my condition. A little depressing, just want some real food. There aren't any 24 hour pharmacies open around home anyways, so at least I'll be guaranteed to get my meds today.Tiffany K

I hope you have a quick recovery. Your curve sizes are (were) very similar to mine!
Be happy!
