    Neck fusion going bad?

    Well, one neurosurgeon's staff says he may not see me if I've had previous surgery by someone else. Still gonna look at my case after new years but his people didn't seem to think he'd see me. My other option won't see me till February so that's up in the air. I may consider going to San...

    Four year old granddaughter came in late last night and showed me a plush Minnie Mouse doll that had a tear on its hand. Told her I'd look at it the next day. First thing she did in the morning was bring it to me, grandma was out of town so I told her its not bad and I'm no expert at sewing...

    Neck fusion going bad?

    I've been reading that yes, MRI leads can heat up and possibly cause tissue damage and I don't want to cook a part of my heart! Given the way CAT and MRI scans work, the MRI gives the best image of the soft tissues but my cardiologist says no to MRIs. It can be done but with lots of monitoring...

    Neck fusion going bad?

    I've always heard that spinal surgery is a last resort and not always successful. In my case the neck fusion was worth it given I was walking around with a shattered vertebrae. It wasn't from a car accident. The orthopedic surgeon I just made an appointment with will not see anyone that's...

    What works for me!

    We changed cardiologist because the old one gave us very simplistic explanations and just something about him that made us start looking for another one. My neighbor, a pharmaceutical rep, knows a lot of doctors and has a very good knowledge of their reputations and work. Anyhoo, he...

    Neck fusion going bad?

    I had a neck fusion done 20 years ago to fix a shattered vertebrae. Surgery went well, doctor was supposed to be the top dog, no complications during recovery and quality of life was just like before. Now, neck popped a few times, feeling prickly sensation in parts of the body and left side...

    Refinished a water fountain

    This water fountain used to be all black but I got bored with it so I refinished it in a metallic finish. Afterwards I set my sights on another statue that also needed a newer look.

    If I have to listen to K Pop

    Demon Hunters one more time, and I'll have it memorized! Spent a week with my 4 year old granddaughter. Sees the movie once a day and listens to the songs at various times. Acts out and dances the scenes, makes me laugh and smile every time! Reminds me of my daughters, I memorized the Little...

    You've seen a UFO

    Working nights in the west Texas desert, you see things. One was a dull red orb, and it looked like a red eraser held at arms length. Traveled in a slow but halting manner than faded away. I looked to my co-worker sitting next to me. I asked if he saw it, and he said yes. Made no noise, and...
