hurray I am back Mood
Friday, July 3, 2009 | A General Update story

hello

I am back and so glad. comp is fixed for good i hope this time.  I am sitting here in a neck brace as had to have my neck fussed.  the disks shifted and were prssing on the spinal cord and nervers so had to get it fixed.  Still waiting for the left knee to get fixed but that is going to be a while.  I can't drive or do very much for the next couple of months, but the pain and headackes and such should be much better.  It's kind of strange not to go hop in my car and go somewhere.  there is a special bus system here for elerdly and disabled that pick you up at your door(they ring the door bell) and take you to your docs door or wherever it is you want to go and pick you up at the time you set. It great and only 2$ each way. So how is everyone elese doing?

    Hi Pam!! I am sorry abt all the surgeries you had to go thru!!! I hope it helps!! Are you able to take the brace off some??I have the same bus situation but it costs more here in Calif.Prices have gone up so am not sure of the cost now. I know I had to take a taxi to have my eye exam and was charges 15 bucks each way!!! The thieves!! I am thankful I can drive. I have a car and for several mos .I didn't have one.I didn't have one for 20 yrs. b-4 I met my last husband. I could walk then. Can barely walk a few feet now. Well enough i need to quit writing!! I have been at this most of the day!! TTYA!! June (cbridges).

knee doing so much better Mood
Wednesday, December 10, 2008 | A Positive story

don't know that I ever want to go through this again. But after only a month I am walking on my own with very little pain. The Doc wants to do the left one as soon a possible or I will be in the same fix with that one as I did the right.  It won't be untill summer as right one has to heal first. hate the thougt but maybe I can work after they are both fixed.

    Hello there!! Are you doing better?? I have been wondering if you were hurting more. We have been having some cold weather for Calif. I do love our winters but just can't do much heat anymore. I am old and my illnesses sure don't help either!! Take care of your self now!! TTYA!! JUNE (cb).
