My problems for this year!

Wow Laura, I'm so sorry to hear about your neck and back problems to start off 2013. I'm sending you plenty of Pittsburgh thoughts and prayers that those surgeries are successful and you have four furry nurses to help with your recovery.

Laura, a friend of mine had surgeries similar to yours and had to wear the cage, etc. She said she was warned about the pain but it turned out to be not so bad. She said she thinks doctors feel they have to say that so you'll be prepared. I don't know; it's just her opinion, I guess. Anyhow, you know I'll be praying and lighting candles for you. Hopefully, Carol will find some time to update us on your recovery. I wish you a world that's pain free, girlfriend. Keep the faythe.

I am so sorry to hear you have to go through so much. If it all goes well, you will be back to normal again. I too am going through a lot of stuff in my retirement. We work hard all our lives and when we finally get time to enjoy life, we have all kinds of ailments, it's just not fair. I'm sending you the best of luck and will be thinking of you on Valentine's Day.
