Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas !!!

We are grateful for what we have. 

Still on the Mend

X-rays tomorrow. 

I think I need to start walking or something. I still feel terrible in the mornings? Must be that I am not sleeping well. 

Hope all is getting ready for Santa. I have been keeping busy at the house resting, reading a good book, Killing Lincon. Very interesting. Finding little things to do to keep from going mad, you collect a lot of stuff over the years. Have only left the house a few times still no driving. Surprised how much your whole body can be affected by a sore neck.

Anyway hope everyone is well. 

Cheers. 

Week 3

Post T - Day

Nice Turkey Day down the Cape. 

Spent it with the OBrien's this year. 

Hope everyone was thankful and had a nice day. 

Spent Friday in Harwich at Shine. 

All with my beautiful wife and boys. 

Cookin. 

Josh's new craft. 

Stella!!

Finished up at the Ho in Harwich. 

Peace. 

Staples Out!

Yesterday I got my staples out. Yeah ! 

Still need the collar for everything but sleeping. 

Things are pretty swollen and tender. 

I go back in 3 weeks for an X-ray to see how things are healing. Then maybe I can drive. 

Still feel lousy in the morning. Like I fell down some stairs then better as the day rolls on. At about 3-4 I start to crash and need more meds the muscle spasms are pretty bad.

All is going pretty well. Starting to talk to myself, ha ha. Not that I didn't before. 

Hope all are well. 

Thanks again

Week One

Well week one is just about behind me. I can say I have had the expected aches and pains with a side of uncontrollable hiccups, probably due to the moving all the stuff inside my throat. I have been very tired all week small bursts of energy then I end up crashing. 

The neck pain seams to be mostly due to the surgery and I don't feel any arm pain at all. It is kind of weird when you have lived with it for so long and now it's not there. So glad it's gone. 

I hope to get my stitches out Thursday if all looks good. Still limiting my movement and taking it very slow. Don't plan on having to go back for a "do over". Slow and steady seams to be working. 

Any way thanks again for all the positive thoughts prayers.
