Had that surgery 30 years ago..it sure has changed for the better!!

Welcome Back MG!!

Glad you received your gifts ok - we were hoping they didnt get ruined in transit

Nice to see you back on the boards

Lexie

Mrs. M, it's a bigger surgery than I was expecting. Unfortunatley I've had alot of surgeries in my 45 years, and I sure hope this is the last! Worst part is I wasn't doing anything fun or glamorous like skiing, or plunging into a burning building to save a baby. I simply turned around quick to grab the fridge door!! (yea, was just after a beer for my hubby...from now on the dr. said he should get his own!) Then the chiropractor (for which I have no bad feelings)finished off the job. At least sniping doesn't require talking or walking. (had the bone taken from my hip for my neck ). Have you had any more problems since your surgery? I imagine in 30 years it's alot different. I didn't have to wear a collar..yeaaaa!!! I guess I'm screwed together with titanium!! Heh, bet I have a screw loose! I'm anxious for the steri-strips to come off, it's itchy!! But not to see the ugly scar

Lexie, I really enjoy your emoticons! Where in the world do you find so many funny ones?

ps. someone wanted to know what a MG intern was. Master Gardener. Studying right now, hope to be certified by May. (well, I guess I'm already certifiable .....but not in gardening !! )

Mg, could I borrow you for a while? I need a gardener that know something! LOL!...No, I have not had a problem at all, however my husband had it done and he cannot move his neck very far and lost strength in his hands. But, no more pain. He complained more about the bone being taken from his hip than he did about the neck!

Heh, yea my hip is pretty sore too!! My hubby is enjoying my voice not working too well.
If you live somewhere without snow I'll be right over. It's toooooo cold in IL right now!!

Not sure if this is warm enough.We had rain last night and a cold front come through!

ohhhhhhh , I only dream of living in florida...........*sigh*

Do you maybe have a gardener's house/shack/hut....heh, anything????

Well, mg, ummm.. want me to start construction? Should be done in....oh, with the permits here, maybe 5 years!

Sweet!! Just let me know, I'll pack my bags!! Oh, and one other thing.....gotta bring my Ragdoll kitties. mmmmk?

Ok, as long as the kitties are ragdolls..if they eat, you'll have to have them adoped out! I live in a pet-free community!

Oh darn , Ragdoll kitties are real cats. They are beautiful and very lovey. But no pets? I can't live there....sorry.

Darn, there goes my gardner!

There goes my dream of living in anti-snow paradise......

Hmm, like those cats that much, huh?

Yes, actually I do. google search ragdoll cats and you will see how pretty they are. Their fur is soooo soft like rabbit. And they have the best personality. Of course, if you don't like cats I guess that won't matter.
They are my gardening buddies. soooo funny in the garden. One day I was dead heading my iris-tossing the spent flowers into the lawn- and Maddie Maye was bringing them back to me! They make me laugh every day

I like cats..just don't have any animals. But, I have a great grandbaby that is three, I am raising and a husband with altzheimer's. That must count for something! LOL!

Ragdoll..pretty!

...MG

Here's a get well bouquet, hope you're feeing better soon.

I had bone removed from both hips and put in my shoulders to try and stop dislocations from a seizure disorder. That was in 1978. Very painful at the time but no problems since.

Oooooooh!! I LOVE flowers!! Thank you
Getting better every day...very slowly tho, I'm getting impatient. Just glad it is winter or I would be going nuts not getting my work done outside.
Thanks again, that was nice.

Mg, I just noticed the remark you made about the chiro and your surgeryt. My son became paralized during his chiro visit and we went after him, transported him to the hospital in the back of a van on a board...he had the surgery and was back to work in a month! Not a problem since. His was the lower back, however. My husband said the worst part of the one he had done in his upper was the hip bone removal, not the neck!
