Right about now I agree with QUEEN TINA.    HURT is the word for now.  I knew that after the surgery I would feel some pain but boy do I hurt!  I was kept over night in the hospital thank god they gave me some good pain killers.  now I am home not supposed to do anything.  The good news is that the back pain is gone and I know that after a while the pain from the surgery will be gone.  Just wanted to let you all know that things were a big success.  I go back to see my doctor in one week.  YIPPEE!!

Well I went to the hospital today to have my pre ops done.  You know blood draw- urine chest x ray and ekg.  All was well.  I talked to the nurse about my concerns about having to be awake for the surgery, she told me not to worry that all will be well and I will not feel a thing. Tomorrow is the surgery day and hopefully I will be able to blog tomorrow.  We shall see.  Good Day to all.  HUGS
