"Things are really looking up"

I am doing super! "My chair has been moved back down to the family room, tomorrow the "little t.v." will be removed from the living room. I will be so happy to have my living room back to being a "living room" and my family room back to being a "family room" again. I have never liked a t.v. in the living room, but I have to admit it was a comfort not having to go down those stairs when I was sore and found it hard to manipulate the stairs.

I am able now to go some without my brace on my back, but do wear it if I am having a day of heavy chores or "feeling a bit sore" which is less and less these days. My next appointment with the neurosurgeon is the beginning of March and I am sure he will be very pleased at my progress, I know we sure are. To think only four months ago I was in misery. The change is remarkable. I am so grateful. It has been a long road, but with my family and friends,it was made so much easier. Thanks!!! I appreciate all you did. I love you all.

Now I am looking forward to the warmer weather and the volunteer work I have longed to do for years. I have begun to do some but only when I feel up to it. I am joining a group of friends in a daytime Bible Study at Staunton Church of the Alliance where people from several other denominations participate also ... that begins a week from Thursday, we are all looking forward to that.

Sandy and I are planning a road trip...yes a road trip...south!!! I can't believe it. We will drive but not as far in a day. We are very excited about it and looking forward to it.

So as you can see, I am keeping busy, no sitting and watching soap opera's for me! Maybe "Good Morning America" and sipping coffee with my feet propped up before I get going....I won't say I don't do that....
