Two Steps ForwardViews: 214

Today was a beautiful day…not only because the sun was shining, the air was cool, but it was also a day of, well, blessings.

I had two follow up appointments today: one with the back surgeon and another with the neurosurgeon. The great news is that the xrays showed the graft and titatnium steel in my back are still holding up well. The bone graft is still growing, I’m exhibiting no neurological issues, etc., etc. Basically no problems. Well, because I’m doing so well, they both released me! YAY!

This has been SUCH a great day!

That is wonderful news for you today.
Thank you so much for your comment on my blog. I try to take one day at a time.

Bless you for your story and showing me not to let fear creep up on me.
