Well, well, well.

I finally told my husband that I wanted to be friends.  He took it remarkably well.  I know he loves me and wants us to work things out. And although we are going to stay friends, I just want to start a new chapter in my life.  So he went online and have been talking to a few girls and I think that has eased his thoughts.  I don't know if he was doing it to make me jealous, but I can't believe that I am not, not at all either.  I encourage him to go find a new girl.  Weird huh?

And then on top of all that drama, I have been battling back pain since 2004.  I had slipped on ice and had it looked at, and it wasn't serious.  But over the years, and as my profession as a nurse, it has gotten really painful.  I was taking a natural supplement my company sells and it really helps take the edge off.  But when I ran out, I couldn't take it so went to the Dr, and they did an MRI.  Good thing I ran out,,,, Come find out most of my spinal cord is being pinched off by a disc that ruptured and is compressing my spinal cord.  on top of that I have disc degeneration between my L4 and L5 and they need to do a fusion.  Well I am not up for the fusion, and the only option I have is to have a smaller surgery to relieve the spinal cord from making me paralyzed.  I can deal with the pain for a little while longer, and wait for the fusion.  But it really is a lot to take in.  I meet with the surgeon Thurs.  The Dr's are really serious about this, and have been bumping other patients to get me in ASAP.  That kinda scares me.  But I know God will be there for me along the way and guide the surgeon so I will be ok.

Well I am gonna go and try to update some pics here.  The ones here are so old.
