    OMG the scissors and toothbrush shot---amazing! I've never seen anything like it. And your after shots are just amazing; you are straight as an arrow!! I love the pics of you and your family. You are just stunning. I hope things get easier for you with work. Good luck.

            You were opened up wide when they shot that x-ray. Unless you still have your spreaders still in,

            and they itch. LOL

                  Hey everyone...Im so embarrassed...I wasnt fishing for compliments...lol...really I wasnt! lol I think its neat to put faces & spines w/name of people you chat with on a regular basis!! But Im glad you guys like the pictures.....I really should have just stuck to the Xrays! lol

                  I'm a scrapbooker....love it when I have the time. I got hooked on it when I was pregnant w/my youngest, Zackary....so I go kind of picture crazy sometimes....always have my camera in my purse.....just incase!

                  Well, tomorrow is it----1st day of full time work. Wish me luck.....I have a feeling I will be pooped out by the end of the day. WHY didnt I win the lottery Saturday, why why why?!?! lol

                  Hope everyone is doing well....have a good night!

                    Thanks for sharing your pics, Lynne. The others are right, you are a very attractive woman and what gorgeous kids you have.

                    Fascinating to have a pic with all that equipment lying around inside you!

                    Good luck with full time work! I am tired just thinking of it, LOL.

                      Thanks for the pics. They were great. I agree with everyone else that you are pretty !
                      By now you have finished your first day back at work. I think it's ironic that it is tax day, too.
                      Hopefully you will take it easy in the evening.

                            OMG ! You are exhausted and you are so YOUNG !

                            I'm 20 years older. Eeeek. I can see my future --- and it's scary.

                            Oh well.....I'll keep focusing on the positive. I'm sure I will get through it and reading your stories really helps me get ready.

                            Congrats on making it through the day.

                              LynnMarie-- that's such an accomplishment! You made it through a full day of work, and that is such hard work at that stage of recovery. Hopefully after a little bit it will get easier for you. Rest up when you can at home.

                              Thanks for sharing your pictures! Yes, they are great. And I agree it's nice to be able to put a face with the name...
