Oh Lew, you crack me up! And now I am stuck with images of Veruca getting sucked away.
Hope you have a good day at work. Your colleagues will be psyched to have you back.

Lew - have a good day at work today. Take it easy though - the adrenalin is probably pumping - back off of ALL that you want to do; leave some for tomorrow - "no more tilling"

I got that one down! I'll tell you, checking in at lunch; the kid from "Jerry Macquire" was right. The human head weighs AT LEAST 8 pounds. Not leaning back into the couch for a good part of the day is making me understand that all my surgery pain is definitely not gone. But I'm still here!! Good things happening too, but I'll wait until the weeks up to tell you all that I haven't gotten dizzy yet today; a staple of work life. Oh shit! I probably just jinxed myself !

Stay off the mechanical bull at lunch, Lew!!!! No sumo wrestling or ice luge, either.

........Damn................ . Well there's always street luge. Like I said I'm not going to report that work has been easier today depspite the neck pain since that would be me talking about what could simply be a good day, so I won't, but it's been an awfully good day in terms of dizziness and eyesight. Like I said before, I probably just jinxed myself, but I'm going to enjoy today damnit, and pray for more.

Well my follow up date is set for 9/15 and 9/16 if he has to go in and do the left hand side that he didn't do. So anyone that will be out there, let me know!

Lew - Let's hope he does not have to go back in. Gee, hope my tests show a good blood flow - I must be optimistic - I did not schedule another day for more procedure.
Hope you are having another good day at work.

I am! Neck pain comes and goes the more I have to work in front of this darn thing, but that's what my superiors want me doing is not over doing it by working on computer "stuff"! How ironic is that! Dake scheduled me an extra day because I think he suspects we may just have to go in and fix my 'anamoly'. I sure hope not, I'm just getting to the point where the pain doesn't piss me off anymore, but if I can get some better relief? sign me up. I, too, hope he goes in for a look and says "nope, not gonna' do it!", but I could be so lucky. If he does that, the first thing I'm doing is buying some powerball tickets.
