Way to go Kathy. I am so glad you are doing so well. Keep us posted as to how you are progressing. I am impressed that you are on the forum so soon. I am just now getting on after my neck surgery. I had 3 vertebrae fused, pain, but getting better daily. The big surgery will be scheduled after the neck heals.Chris, Austin, TX

Take care,Mary AnnComment
