Me Again!

Hey everyone! It's me- finally here typing to you. Thanks for all the prayers and cards and calls and visits. I really appreciate everything!!

I had my first check up today. I got my stitches out and the go ahead to finally take a full shower. Today was a really full day. I cannot say enough about how wonderful my medical staff at Children's Mercy is. We had a bunch of tests done and then saw a nurse from the surgery team. She says things are going well, but to expect some pretty slow going from here. I can expect to stay this sore for probably a month. Also, I should regain sensation in my chest,back, shoulders, right leg, etc.... in a few more weeks. I didn't get to take my 5 hour nap today cause we were at the hospital. I've found this doesn't work out the best for me.

BUT- My wonderful husband just made me a dynamite ham-n-cheese sandwhich so I'm going to go relax with him! More to come! Love you all!

PS- some of you know this first hand, but be very happy I didn't attempt to update you all on myself while I was in the hospital. It would have looked something like this:
