How Amazing!!

Duane is home from the hospital and I am amazed at how well he is doing... we were very fortunate that we found a awesome surgeon.. the technique that he used has cut down the recovery time from 3 months to 4 weeks... he does not have to wear a neck collar and that is amazing.. what they did is remove a disk and replace it with a piece . Duane has lost some strength in his left arm that hopefully will come back... the nerve damage was pretty severe... his next challenge is keeping still and healing .. if you know Duane you know what I mean.. but he will get thru it.. that is what counts.. Duane's brother leaves tomorrow and I have to say it has been great to have him here to walk us thru all of this.. (he is a surgical nurse ) who has done these types of surgeries for years. It has been nice for him and Duane to spend some time together and also for me.. I got to talk to him alot about my new journey in weight loss, OA and WW. He admitted that he once was very closed minded about addiction but over the years has read and researched and does see it differently... I hope that Duane will be able to see what Rick has and understand what I am working for..

With that I am going to close and relax before I start dinner.. oh and by the way isnt it great to see the sun????
