Hi everyone, Thanks so much for the thoughts and prayers ! I've been in and out of it all day with all the drugs in my system. So, I'm up now and wanted to check in ! I feel extremely weak and shaky and its extremely difficult to put any weight on my right leg, so its really hard to get around. My DH is in Brooklyn so I need a ride to the Drs. appt tomorrow. I hate asking for help I like being independent , I will probably have my DD take me in ! This is what happens when you have too much time on your hands ! I've been checking the MB and there's tons of good news on from everyone, I think its great to read them when not feeling well, it picks me up !!!! I will let you all know whats going on tomorrow when I get home. I'm praying and fasting that God will direct the Drs. hand in all this. the best part is I worked with this surgeon when I was a floor nurse, so we know each other pretty well.. Plus, he's one of the best in the state ... Thanks again everyone !!!! Jonathan will be home in less than 48 hours !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MaryJo - does your son's flight come through Bangor, ME? - the international airport here is famous for it's troop greeters, which I'm proud to say that I was among them for an awful lot of troop flights touching down - before proceeding on to their final destinations. Hey, now that I think about it I think I have newspaper articles and I definitely have lots of pictures -somewhere - I hadn't even thought about scrapping them.

Anyway, glad that you were able to get some sleep last night and hoping and praying that tonight will bring even more. Sending prayers and hugs your way.

Mary Jo,

I'm so sorry that you are in so much pain. I'll pray that you'll find answers at your Dr's appointment/MRI. Please hang in there & keep your spirits up. A lot of people of thinking of you!

((a very gentle hug))
