MY BIRTHDAY

As I lie in bed this morning I think of the years gone by.I can truly say that for the most part I have happy memories . It may have been a little hard growing up because we were many children but still my mother made each one of us feel special.Not with buying us many presents but with just a hug, a special meal and a tin of sweets that we can give to the other children in school.I did look forward to going to school on my birthday.

God has blessed me with a caring husband, two lovely children and many brothers and sisters and a host of friends especially my blogging friends because they unconditionally care about me and wish me well.Someone they had never seen or met before but only through blogworld. Thank you each and every one of you for making the last year go by really fast,I made it through surgery really well and am recovering good, better than most people. I am thankful for being able to get up each morning and look at the beautiful world we live in, listen to the birds chirp, admire the butterflies and the flowers and be able to take care of myself.

My birthday wish is that my sister will be well soon, get through the chemo and be able to visit India soon. Another year has passed and a new year begins, I am sure this year is going to be even better than the year before. Thank you each and everyone of you for being with me through the good and the bad times.I also want to wish everyone who is having a birthday a Happy one.

I got a special Birthday present from "J" .it is called a skyscout.I think it was a very thoughtful gift, because he knows how much I love looking at the stars and the sky.Through which I can locate the stars and know the names.it works of a GPS. It is really neat. Our backyard is really open and we can see a lot of stars at night so I am sure it is going to be a lot of fun. Take care , I will be with my sister for the next week as she goes through her chemo.please remember her in your prayers.

UPDATE

Well! friends, I have not been reading any blogs and have not posted anything.sometimes I just feel so over whelmed. I had to have an EMG done to check on the nerve conduction because of the numbness I feel in my toes.It was not too bad,just some electrical jolts along the path of the nerve down my legs.It was just a bit uncomfortable. On Friday I had to have a Myelo-CT scan done.I was very nervous because I was told I could not have any sedation.Apparently I have been spoiled with being given sedation before all my other proceedures. Actually it was not as bad as I thought it would be.SOme dye was injected into the spinal canal and then the Ct was done. Here is a picture of my spine with the artificial disc and the interbody cage with fusion below. I am doing better today, was not feeling too good the past few days, a lot of back and leg pain.I think it will pass.I hope you guys had a good week. I sure miss all of you.Thank you for keeping my sister in your prayers.she will be undergoing her third chemo treatment next week.
