Hello everyone!  It's been a while since I posted a message and I wanted to give an update.  Last time I posted was after my first surgery.  I've since had my second surgery (Dr. Scott - two surgeries a week apart).  Unfortunately, I had a stroke some time between the the two surgeries.  This affected my speech and the strength in my right hand (I'm right handed).  When I first woke up after the second surgery I could't speak at all.  I also had to learn how to type and write again.  But I'm doing well!!  I'm going to therapy (occupational and speech) and am talking more every day.  I can't tell you how wonderful Dr. Scott was.  He's the man!!!
