I had my surgery on January 12th. Being put under is the oddest sensation. One minute I am coherent the next I am speaking in Tongues and then I wake up in a strange room surrounded by nurses and doctors that apparently couldn’t hear me even though I was speaking :-/ But after that “body snatchers” part was over the recovery was what I expected. The pain in my back from then incision only lasted 10 days or so. I have pain in my leg still, but the doctors and PTs tell me it will go away over the next few weeks following the surgery. It definitely was a major improvement over the pre-surgery pain, but I am not sure I can tell that I am making that much improvement. I am off the pain killers for the first time since this ordeal started in September of 2006 now I just take my acetaminophen and deal with the pain that is left. I limp and am tilted to my left side, but I do feel better than I did. Now to get rid of this last bit of pain…

Snow has finally arrived in sufficient quantity to make it look like winter outside. It’s about freakin’ time. Anywhoo, we have added a new member to our family. Coco, a pitbull terrier joined us in January. She is so cute and a little love bug, well not so little. She is the same age as Vala. The get along well spending most of their time together wrestling while Kirby referees. I will post some pictures of her soon.
