Hello everyone....I survived the surgery
![clap clap](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/yelclap.gif)
I was able to venture out yesterday for the first time since Dec. 18th (with the doctors approval). I was getting a serious case of cabin fever!

We just went to the pharmacy & bank but it was so good to be out and about again!

I have a post op appointment on Jan. 3rd that will tell me if I am going to be in this very restrictive hard collar for another 4 or 6 weeks.
It's been hard but different than I thought it would be. I am truly blessed that my husband, Rick, took off work until after my first appointment to care for me. My sister came from Alabama & cousins came from N.C. to be with us during and after the surgery.
Our families have had a very hard December...Rick's Aunt Jackie died of Alzheimer's that she had been battling for over 10 years. My little brother, Paul (62 in January), suffered a heart attack, followed by valve replacement and bypass surgery. His wife's (Melinda) brother, Randy (66), had a stroke while duck hunting and died 5 days after his 2nd granddaughter was born and my sister's mother-in-law, Martha (92), passed the day after Marque returned to Alabama after my surgery.
To say the least, we are praying 2018 will be a better year for us all. We will dearly miss those who have left us.
I will post as soon as I am released to get back to work.
I thank you all for your confidence in my products.
My customers are the absolute BEST!!!
I hope everyone has a happy, healthy & prosperous 2018.
Blessings to all...
