Moving on...

My blog started many, many months ago, and I put the few, simple goals I had for my spinal health at the bottom of my page.  I am happy to say I am ticking them off one by one.  Although there was no beach volleyball on spring break this year, it definitely was not due to lack of a healthy back.  I would have played volleyball without hesitation, if it weren't for
#1: My shoulder has been screwed up since January... still waiting for the tendonitis to resolve.
#2: I think we are all getting too old or too unmotivated for volleyball?  Ladder Golf (aka Hillbilly Golf, whatever you'd like to call it.... Old People Beach Golf with Plastic Poles and Swingy Balls on Strings?) was the game of the week.  Volleyball was never mentioned.
#3:  Aforementioned bladder control issues....


I can report though that my back is spectacular.  That is always my word of choice when asked how I'm doing.  It's more normal than it ever has been.  I am beyond pleased.

Here is a message on my late surgeon's website....
