My last blog post really worried some of you. I'm sorry. That was not my intention. I just wanted to get my feelings out which is somewhat strange for me cuz I am pretty private, especially about my health. So here it is in a "nutshell". About 7 years ago I was in a jetskiing accident where I injured my neck. I went to the E.R, they told me I hurt my neck, gave me pain pills and sent me home. I was sore for a few days and then was good to go. Or so I thought. What has happened is in those injured areas of my neck arthritis set in. (Most of you know I have rhuemetoid arthritis) Over the past 7 years is has attacked those injured areas and now my spinal cord is at risk. Last week I had and MRI and met with the Neurologist. The only way he feels to correct this, is to fuse C1 and C2 of my vertibrates toghether. Between my C4 and C5 has an issue also, and I have a lot of pain in my neck and down my arm. We are looking further into that. We are seeking a second and maybe third opinion. We just want to make sure we have all our questions answered before we move forward.
This has all been somewhat of a shock for me, and that is why I needed to share my feelings. It is real and I need to deal with it.

Rachie, been thinking about you ever since our chat. Any updates? And just so you know, if Nanny-911 is otherwise disposed, just send your kids our direction. Doesn't even need to be a 911 moment--we'd just love to have 'em any time! Liam keeps asking where your kids are. I think another get together is in order.
