Hello to all,
As I type this, I am finishing my first full week of full time teaching after being off for 3 months, and it feels really good! The kids have been wonderfully lenient with me as I forget what time they are supposed to go to music or PE, and it took me only about 5 minutes to re-grow the eyes in the back of my head.

I am thrilled to be back in the classroom again, teaching kids to love good literature.
The best news is that the swelling aound my incision is gone and has shown no new swelling for about a week and a half. Dare I think I may be over the hump and no longer a member of the disaster of the week club? I called my drs. office this week to report on my progress as requested, and when I told Dr. Vrabec's nurse how well I was doing (as opposed to the last 6 weeks of dismal news), her reaction was a heartfelt "Thank you, Jesus!" My sentiments exactly.

I still have a morning "hangover headache" most days, but they clear up w/a cup of coffee and being in an upright position. My neck still aches like I have a tension headache, but I reach for the heating pad at that point. I can live w/all the various aches and pains as long as I am able to go about my day w/out being confined to my bed! Most days are pain free once I am up and about.
I am so grateful and feel so blessed. This has been a joourney of faith for me, and God's promises are as real today as they were thousands of years ago.
