I just wanted to let all my wonderful friends here in this superb community we call mylot that \i gave indeed had my back surgery and am now home! My surgeon seems to think that everything has gone really well and that the operation has been a success - we will know more as time goes along! I have to apologise for being over ambitious - pre surgery I thought I would be back here a lot as soon as I came home - I din't realise just how tired I would be! LOL Will be on for a little while at a time at least once a day - please do not think I am ignoring you - I will catch up with everyone eventually I promise! I would love to thank you all for your friendship, support, encouragement , prayers and good wishes sent my way - they have all done wonders and helped me so much! I would also like to thank mylot for making it possible to meet so many wonderful new friends, family and guardian angels! Thank you all! xxx

Take your time my good friend, ease back gently, you have been through a traumatic time, any op no matter how big or small takes a lot out of you! I am so pleased the op went ahead, and I was thinking of you, everything was crossed and welcome home and here's a big, big HUG.... If you need me you know I'm here for you goes without saying xxxxx

Welcome back Mummymo. You take your rest and get really well again... you've got to do the trampolening don't forget. lol. Seriously though, I'm so glad everything went well and your op successful. We all missed you... Raydene was after the first day. lol. It's great to hear from you, but now you must take it easy and get that back strengthened again. Take care, my dear friend. Brightest Blessings and get well soon. xxx

Yes, I thought they might. They said much the same to me years ago, when i slipped a disc. No regimental exercise, was the one that stuck in my mind the most. :-( That means any exercises I do, I have to do alone. Oh well, that's life, but I wouldn't chance the bouncy castle if I were you. They're worse than a trampolene for twisting things. Take care my friend and get well soon. xx

Glad to have you back hale and hearty. When I had my Xrays a couple of days ago I was really surprised to be shown where I had broken my back in 3 places not 2 as I had been led to believe. So I really know what it is like to have your back out of whack. Take care and rest.

That's wonderful! Now you need to get some rest. You certainly don't need to apologize for curtailing your activity here; it's completely understandable and essential for your health. It's great to hear that there are so many decent people here on myLot, and that you have received such an outpouring of support.

What mor can I say, but to add to all the other best wishes for you. Remember to take things easy for a while, as you will be desperate to get out and about as soon as possible, and this will be very exhausting for a while.

Yeah, I am glad to hear that you finally got the operation. I am sure that if the doctors seem optomistic that everything is going to be well. I hope you are not in too much pain from the surgery. Get some rest. Don't worry about us. We all just want you to feel better.

Oh, mummymo, I am so thrilled that you are home and everything is fine. I have been praying so hard for you that I thought God was going to put in a direct line. I am totally amazed that you are home so soon but I am just so very thankful that the surgeon thinks everything has gone well. You have just been on my mind so very much. Now you take it easy and rest. You have let us know that you are home so don't worry about writing us, or at least me. I just want you be a good patient at home so that your back will have the best possible chance of recovery. We all want you up and well so that you and your family can go out and have fun. Tell that hubby of yours to take good care of you. Again, you remain in my prayers. God has a special light just for you.
