Today was incredible with our grandbaby being born, but after being out of the house all day, without any pain meds, no ice, I dragged my sorry ass home, threw the ice pack on my back and collapsed. Now I'm going to flop into bed. Hang in there. Soon you will be on the other side! We will have post op stories to tell, for sure!

Cindylou,
I am so excited for you to be having surgery on Monday! What do they think your recovery will be like? Weeks or Months? CONGRATULATIONS on the grandbaby! How exciting! I have the baby fever soo bad. I can't wait until I am better and can have another. My 'baby' is 3 now and gets mad when I call her a baby. Was it a boy or a girl? I pray you will soon be out of pain and can spend your time holding the baby and not hurting.
