Thinking of you (best of thoughts, and fond memories of your genuinely caring posts) and hoping that your back issues will be a thing of the past after they "correct" it. You've been plagued so long, and I know you've been moving & feeling so much better, that the timing may seem off. Sending you the most positive vibes from S FL; please keep us posted.

Oh my, Teresa!!!!!!!!!!!  You'll be in my thoughts and well wishes.  Give us updates whenever you can.  Did they test you to make sure you don't have any blood clots blocking circulation to your legs?
