I seem to be coming down with a bit of a cold. Not severe, just the beginning. But they will not do the operation if I have a cold. So I'll have to see how I feel tomorrow. I have to get blood type done for the surgery Saturday, and get the wrist band. The Surgery is Monday morning. Pray for good health. I want to get this over with (so I can sleep again). Just no comfortable position now. JC On Fri, Nov 23, 2012 at 6:45 PM, Mary McCarthy <_printces@sandwich.net_ (mailto:printces@xxxxxxxxxxxx) > wrote: yeah. worry worry. Let us know when your okay.

We have a lot to be thankful for. Cindy and Nate are doing great, and as I say every day..... Just waking up this side of the ground is a good start! As you all may know, last February I underwent surgery and had some spinal fusion. This included a plate, 2 synthetic discs, and 6 screws in my neck. I have been having some pain in the last 4 or 5 weeks that is different. After a CT scan, and an MRI in the last week, the doc has determined I officially have a screw loose, and they have to go back in to replace it with a different one. It doesn't happen often, but it has happened to me. So fire away at the jokes on having a screw loose..... not something that we didn't already know, or I wouldn't be on THIS list! I will be having surgery Monday, and the recovery time will be about a week away from work and other activities. At least it will be minimal compared to the last round. Everything else looks good and they don't need any other work to correct things. Thank you for your prayers in advance (I am counting on them), JC --- John Christensen 1984 El Camino "Elkenstein" 350 TBI NECOA #042 _http://www.myelcamino.net_ (http://www.myelcamino.net/) Saint Charles, IL --- John Christensen 1984 El Camino "Elkenstein" 350 TBI NECOA #042 _http://www.myelcamino.net_ (http://www.myelcamino.net/) Saint Charles, IL 1957 JC Sub-frame connector
