Da Flu

I gots da flu

I wanna die ... or at least not have to go back to the bathroom until it has been sterilized by a flame thrower.

Ick!

surgery over

Elizabeth's surgery is over and all is well. She states that her back hurts from the surgery, but the pain from the nerve and disc is gone.

she will be at her mom's for the next three days as her mom is a nurse and could recognize earlier possible complications much better then I could.

Thanks for all the well wishes from everyone.

Scared

I typed that one word and about started crying.

I am having surgery in the morning to correct a herniated disk with a segment of material that has broken off and is pressing on the nerves. I have been having pain from this for some time and it has kept me from doing things that I would like to have done. The pain today has been almost unbearable and I tried taking more pills than I should have to try and bring it under control. No dice.

I am lying here on my stomach using Gunner's computer as it is currently about the most comfortable position I can be in right now.

I have done everything I can about this, the doc is first rate, the proposed operation is very conservative, and my family is going to be there for me.

But I have reached the point where the results will not depend on me, but on others and that just scares me to death.

I have 12 hours and 30 minutes before I have to be at the hospital.

Wish Me Luck.
