Hi Diane!
Those were lovely photos of you and Zoey that Mark posted on your surgery blog.

Re your stint as a back pain patient and the status of newbie~ I just find it so almost horrific that so many years of my life have gone by as they have and now I'm so afraid to do more because I had one good year!

In this sense I'm so glad for you that you've gone just a year as a spine patient to date before taking care of something that obviously was giving you notice that there was more that surgically needed addressing.

I hope your recovery isn't going to be too painful or difficult and of course am looking forward to further posts from Mark about how you're coming along.

Wishing you as little pain and best recovery possible~ Maria
