    Chris-so happy you are home with your family. It's just not the same until you are home! I'm sure with therapy, your leg will get stronger. I had a weaker leg for about 6 mths. It still aches a bit now & then but nothing major now...Lynne
    ps. put the big ice pad that I gave you on it!!!

        Welcome back, Chris! We missed you. You're lucky you were able to have it all done in one operation and get by with a shorter fusion.

        Best wishes for a fast and uncomplicated recovery.

          Hi Chris,

          It is SO nice to finally hear from you!!! You have been in my thoughts a lot, and I smiled when I saw this post!!!

          I am so happy for you, we obviously all knew you would get through it !!!
          I wish I would have gotten taller, I'm jealous .

          Don't get dicouraged with your husband, it's been almost as hard on him as it was on you in his mind .

          Keep us updated, we all love you!!!

            Welcome back Chris! It's so good to hear that your surgery was so successful. It helps to know that Dr. Boachie has had another successful surgery since he'll being doing my fusion in September.

            Take care of that leg and continue to keep us updated on your progress when you can.
