Since the Hospital

This is the sign I came home to on my room, the boys were dressed in their
nurses uniforms with name badges, they have taken good care of me.


These are two pictures of my xrays, one looking down and one from the side
the one above on the outside of the hardware is the bone he piles there to help fuse.
The little lines in the bottom shot are the spacers between the disks. It looks weird,
especially when I think they are in me, the pain isn't too bad with the medicine and
I'm moving around better and better every day. Yesterday I even went outside
and walked a little. Maybe tommorrow I'll go again, it sure tires me out.

this is Tiffany with her birthday present. It was delicious..Jeff got one too and he shared with me. The boys did not like them as you can see from Braydens expression below. He kept saying, Please could you put those outside, those eyes keep looking at me. Then he said his mom liked big bugs.... we had just been reading an alphabet book about bugs and some had antennas and pinchers.... we assured him it wasn't a bug, that didn't help, it wasn't until Jeff threw out the shells and the eyes, that Brayden would finally taste a piece of meat, he liked it.....

We also received two big boxes of food from our friends, with all the fixins for a turkey dinner,

we had it yesterday and it was so wonderful. thanks so much for all those who helped out since the surgery. you are all wonderful
