Today marks 3 weeks post my Cervical Spinal Fusion surgery. It seems that my mind is healing quicker than my body (oh, to be back in my 30s!). Like any recovery period, I have good days and bad, but in the end, Im much better off on the pain scale post-surgery than I was pre-surgery. A good friend of mine encouraged me to measure progress in weeks rather than days, which has helped with coping more than he knows. While I still have a ways to go on this healing journey, its indisputable that if my brother from another mother, Mr. Peyton Manning, can do it, than surely so can I!! Good news is my pain wasnt in my throwing arm, so I may have less rehabilitation that he had in the long run. Hey, lets look at this on the bright side..at least my blown-up neck didnt happen during football season! (Go Colts!) At any rate, my family is forever grateful to each of you. For the delicious meals, transportation and errand-runs at all hours of the day, comforting words and thoughtful gifts, and the gorgeous and fragrant flowers in every color of the rainbow. In this day and age of social media, the word got out and you all responded, in such awesomely altruistic ways. So thank you, from the bottom of our family, friend and football loving hearts.
