Hi Folks,

I'm up and running... well not really. I came home from surgery on

Friday. The doctor removed discs C 3, 4 and 5. He put in some hardware

to keep the spacing of the spine as if they were still there. I have

about a two inch incision whichh is looking great. I do not have collar

because the doc felt with my " short fat neck " that a collar would push

my head up too much and I wouldn't be in a very straight line. Of course

I'm on drugs... the first night I was asking them every two hours for an

recharge. Last night I went from 12:30 til 7:30... pm on one set of

drugs. The hardest part is being an achon with a cpap machine and

sleeping on my stomach. I'm trying different pillows... but nothing

seems to get it just right. If anyone has any advice on a pillow I'd

appreciate it. Butch went out and got a shaped one... but it's really for

sleeping on your back or side. If I'm on my back I can't get up or roll

over unless Butch comes to help.

typing can be difficult if I don't find the hhome row ....

time to get to the couch

thanks for all the love, prayers and emails
