      Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts. I just got finished having my sister take my pictures of my back. She did a great job, and I love having the digital camera because you can make sure the pictures come out right. We had to take a couple of redos. I am about to make a list of things for my mom to take care of in case I am unable to tell her later, I am sure I will be very loopy. I will post again as soon as I can " from the other side ".

          And, Jamie ... you never know how soon the "other side" will be here - LOL!

          Maria, Vndy, and FeliciaFeliciaFelicia (Trulyaries) all kept trying to get me off the phone when I called them the afternoon/evening of the day I had surgery.


          "You're supposed to be resting!!! You just had surgery!!! Get off the phone!!! ...

          "Awwww, man ... c'mon, y'all, I'm BORED!!!" ...
          Fusion is NOT the end of the world.
