It's Alive!!!

[cabenson]

I came home around noon today. The surgery lasted an hour-she took a "huge chunk" of vertebra out- and I can now walk. I had a longer time in post-op because my heart rate was up and a little out of sync-probably have to add that to my maintenance list. But I lucked out and had a private room on a newly redone floor of the hospital that is dedicated to Spinal Conditions.I got to watch TBJ while I nibbled on Graham crackers and sipped on Sprite.

My mom has made me a German Chocolate cake and is now making Chicken Parmigiana. She and Mrs CB have gotten along wonderfully the past two days- I almost hate to see Mom leave tomorrow. They took me for a walk around the house and into the garden so I could see what has bloomed the last few weeks when I was stuck in bed.

Thanks for all the well wishes, thoughts and prayers. I should be back to my snarky self in a few days.

Good to hear you're holding up, CB. We'll snark away until you're back. Then we're gonna goof off, ok?

Man, chocolate cake and chicken parm? And a wonderful woman waiting on you hand and foot? It was almost worth going through all that. Almost.

We're glad you're feeling better!

Black Cherry is my fave. Thanks!

Yeah, almost. Now that I can get out of bed by myself, I think I'm on my own. And damn, that food was so good. I hated to see my mom leave.
