HEy Holli...sounds like you are doing pretty good girl! i asked Leslie about ya today! Glad you are up and about and doing so well!  Keep it up honey and remember we are right here with ya!

Doesn't the first shower after surgery simply make you feel human again??  I thought I was a brand new person after mine!! 

LOL....all that new energy lasted maybe 20 minutes though!

Glad to hear you are doing well.  When does the drain come out?

Glad to hear that you are up and about. I was wondering how you were feeling. I bet you are glad to be home.

  Protein shakes and a helpful husband- who could ask for anything more at this stage of your journey?!!  Sounds like you're off to a great start!! Congrats!!!

Dear Holli,
    I was just wondering if I could ask you a few questions for you. My surgery is the 31st of this month. I am on a few different meds for my degenerating back desease, I even had them put in a pain pump,even that doesn't take away all the pain.I am just a bit worried about the pain that will be involved in this operation, If you have any advise please let me know.
Thank you so much
