I hope most of you are having one of your "better" days.
I've been struggling with what to write. I'll leave it as this:
I'm fine.
My heart is more focused on the people in another place. I was an anxiety ridden wreck when I first began perusing these boards. I can't begin to describe all the comfort that I have gained from just knowing that other people have experienced something similar.
Mike & Ember - I'm watching the calendar and thinking good thoughts. Kelly, Jackie (both of you), Bob, Sunshine, and Ouch - there are always brighter days ahead. Dennis, thanks for hanging around.
I have felt alone while enduring some health issues in the past. I know what it's like to hear about how so and so recovered in whatever time. I know what it's like for other people to not understand the pain. I know what it's like to struggle with wanting to be back to "normal."
I gave up on that word some time ago.
I just try to be who I am and manage things in the best way I can.
I'll try to check back.
Hoping you feel better soon... :wave:

Thanks for the kind words - it is helpful to know we're not alone, especially those of us from small towns.

Hi Funny,
Thank you for the kind words. I feel the same way towards all of you. You just got me thinking back to other surgeries I've had & how wonderful it would've been to have boards such as this one during those times.
This surgery has been made much less stressful due to the folks here. I would actually be thinking my surgery was a failure right now had I not heard on this board that it takes time. After all, "my 2nd cousin recovered from the same thing in 3 weeks a few years ago!?...Why isn't Jackie better yet??? Hmmm?" ;)
You're a nice guy, Funny. Hope you stick around.
Jackie :wave:

F4M- You made me feel special today, you actually thought of me and the rest of us cervie friends :) . I will miss you also if you head off to live but can certainly understand if you do. I know I have enjoyed our chats.
I agree with the others, if it weren't for this board I would have thought I was insane, one of the ones who didn't succeed in 4 weeks max. I now know that I am in the great company of many others who didn't just recover and move back to life, just yet that is.
I do know after these past few months, and the fears I have had that every day I wake up and every day I look at my little boy I couldn't be happier to be alive! Honestly my ex hubby and current hubby (both military) always said everyday you wake up it is a good day and I didn't understand. Do now.

Add me to the list of ongoing thanks and praise.
I'm starting to see the light a bit, but I will be sure to do what I can to continue posting...
It seems what is getting me at the moment is scar tissue pushing up against m throat...
Trying Vitamin E for that at the moment..
We'll see how it goes!

Not bailin', Mike.
