Hope this puts a smile on your face
A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.
"Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents."
Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?"
"Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: ' Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like...hellooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!!!"

Jazey Baby, you're going to get better! Believe that! I have been praying for you as well as the rest of the folks out here in the wooly wilds of Cali. We all send you our best! I especially send you love and affection Jazgirl. You have become such a very dear friend and a very special person to me! I'd gladly take on your pain just to give you one pain free day to just enjoy yourself and to relax!

Long, long ago an old Indian chief was about to die, so he called for Geronimo and Falling Rocks, the two bravest warriors in his tribe. The chief instructed each to go out and seek buffalo skins. Whoever returned with the most skins would be chief. About a month later Geronimo came back with one hundred pelts; sadly, Falling Rocks never returned. Today as you drive through the West you can see the evidence of love and devotion the tribe had for this brave. At nearly every mile marker there are signs saying, "Watch for Falling Rocks."

Good morning {{{{{{{{{{{Jazey}}}}}}}}}}}} 
It was good seeing you last night at dinner! Grinning at everyone, yes I do really know her. And some of us do meet sometimes too. And then the other person who was there. I told you he was delightful!
Too bad his truck deliveries don't get him to SE WI all that often.
Now, have you given any thought to the "Rolling Dungeon" the three of us talked about?
Happy Hump Day Hun!!

Are you kidding silly woman??
It's all I've been thinking about...*ggls hard*
Thank you for a nice dinner honey...I soooo needed after my news yesterday. You really have been there for me whenever I needed you, Kayte...and I love ya for it!..*smoochies, sweet thang*
Update.
Hi guys...Heres an update for anyone who's interested. I'm sorry I didn't get in last night to do this, but I needed some time to think, and I have some personal issues going on at home too, one of the biggest is that my baby, the last of my clan, turns 18 today!! Even tho she's not going anywhere for now (in her last year of high school) I'm still feeling a bit of "empty nest syndrome". With my others grown and out on thier own, I feel like I don't need to be a "Mommy" anymore...lol. Until one of the others comes home to do laundry, or eat all my food...LMAO! Anyhow...heres what the Ortho surgeon said after looking at all my MRI's, x-rays and bone scans. My spine is shot. I have severe arthritis up the entire spine. Lots of plaque, he says. In my lower back, I am bone on bone on several levels. My thoracic-(middle) and my cervical-(upper including neck) are affected as well. I have many blown discs, and the rest are bulging. Theres only one spot in my cervical where everything looks ok, except for the arthritis. He thinks the arthritis is from my broken neck back in 86. Now for the good news....albeit a BIG problem, he does not feel this will land me in a wheelchair as the other guy told me. But I will be in pain for the rest of my life as the problem will NOT get any better. After giving me my options, little as they are, he is leaving the decision of surgery up to me.
He gave me the in's and out's of the procedure. A multilevel fusion, and he can't tell me how many until after the CT scan, will give me a shot of being as normal as I can be...boy, THATS a loaded statement!!!...LMAO!! He will install rods and screws in my back but he will go in from the front. He will put a cage at the base of my spine, which in turn will give me some synthetic bone growth along w/ my own. I guess they do that now instead of taking bone fragments from the hips. In my case, thats what he would have done anyhow as I have had both hips cut open for bone slices when they did the 2 fusions on my neck. He did do a pretty thorough exam, and told me I have a low pain threshold, which I knew already. He also told me much to my surprise that people are either born w/ a low one, or a high one. My sister who was with me told him I get it from my dad. I was worried I was just being a wuss!! Glad to hear thats NOT the case. Which brings me to the next point. Because of the strong meds I am on, he wants me to wean myself off of them under the watchful eye of a GOOD pain management specialist, and get on something less strong so that my own natural pain endorphins will kick in. And I NEED to quit smoking. He came flat out and said he will NOT operate unless I do. I have to decide if the operation will be worth what COULD happen. The stats are pretty good. he said 80 % of the people who have this done are in better shape afterwards. I, however, am unfortunately in the unsuccessful 20 % right now. So I basically have to follow his plan to get to where he wants me and I will then be considered "ripe" for the surgery. These odds are better than the 50-50 I was given from someone else. My sister has had this same surgery, as it's not an uncommon one, by this particular surgeon....and she is back (after 2 years) to riding her Harley!!!! If I work hard at doing the pre-op plan, I just may get back on a horse for some kind of riding!! Maybe not like I was used to, but some kind, nonetheless.
So thats it. He really didn't tell me anything I didn't expect...and it very well could be that if I get in with a knowlegable Pain Management guy, I may learn to live w/ the pain and not have the surgery...highly unlikey, but he told me that some people have actually opted for that. We'll see what happens. But one thing I know for sure is this...it definately looks like I will not be headed back to work anytime soon, if ever. THAT makes me cry!!! I am a good Phlebotomist, and I have taught as well. I have organized Baby Teams for 3 different Hospitals. If I want to go into teaching Phlebotomy, I might be able to do that. But it's not what I like to do. I have been in Administration, and have taught for many years now...and I'm burned out on that. All I want to do is get myself stationed in a NICU and do what I do best!! But it doesn't look like that will be feasible. Time will tell tho. God works in mysterious ways......and if he wants me drawing blood on preemies, then he'll put me there. If not, he'll open another window of some kind for me. It will be interesting to see what that window may be!! I'm hopeful guys. Thats the only way I can be. At least I know that the pain ISN'T in my head as I thought it was...lol. The people who know me in real life have told me that absurd, as they watch me walk all crouched over, and watch me fall from a bad spasm. And beacuse of thet knowledge, I can now understand the depression I have been in.
There ya have it!! I want to Thank ALL of you...and I have sent all of you personal Im's , phone calls and or messages of some sort. You guys have really been a big part of my soul support...and I love each and every one of you for it!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I seriously wouldn't have made it this far for this long w/o ya'all!! If ya think of it, you can continue the prayers as I have a long road ahead of me. God bless every one of you!!!
J.

Well, it certainly sounds extensive, but at least it sounds thorough and you know what you're dealing with. And while back problems are still some of the most difficult things medical experts have to contend with, they have advanced a long way in recent years.
Here's hoping you are back in the saddle again as soon as possible.

Jazey,
A friend of mine had neck surgery in the past year, she had the bone on bone, ect...
She had to get weaned off of narcotics and stop smoking. She said the not smoking was the hardest part.
Her surgery went great, they came in through the front. Her pain was cut dramatically and she was able to go back to work after PT.
Here in MN they have a in patient pain clinic that gets you off drugs. When I considered it a few years ago, it was about 8 weeks long and involved a lot of time in a very warm pool. I would have done it but I couldn't afford not to be working. Had I been on disability, I would have done it in a heart beat.

Oh Noor...THANK YOU HONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have NO idea how good it is to hear that!!! I know I can't get weaned off of the drugs completely, and according to the docs, all 3 of them plus my old pain management guy, I will be on SOME kind of narcotic for the rest of my life. I asked my P.C Physician if she would ever hire someone such as myself, who has to stay on drugs for my back to function, and she said if I knew my stuff, she'd hire me in a heartbeat. So that made me feel better.
How did your freind fair with the surgery as a whole? What was recovery and recovery pain like for her?
I don't know of any place like that here in Wisconsin, but if my disability goes thru, which may not, ya never know when dealing w/ the Government, I sure would like to check into places like that. Thank you so much for this post...man girlie, you sure put a smile on my face!!...*hugs ya sooooo tight*

Thank you sweet Mary!!! I know how much pain you must be in. I knew of some of your health problems, I just didn't know they were that extensive. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers, especially when you are in pain yourself! I know from experience that sometimes it's hard to stay focused due to the pain. If you don't mind, I will keep you in my prayers also. It's amazing what faith can do, isn't it?? Gods hand has been on me for a very long time now. I have been blessed MUCH more than I deserve. And the friends I have made in here are a perfect example of how blessed I am. As you are also. You have so many people who care about you sweet girl....and you will stay in my prayers along with many others, I'm sure. Have yourself a good night Darlin. Thanks for coming in. You can't know what it means to me...*hugs ya tight*
