As some of you already know, I have been having problems with alot of back and neck pain for quite sometime now. To date all of the previous procedures that my doctor has tried to relieve my pain have failed. Today I had a doctor's appt because of the horrible pain that I'm in on a constant basis, and he explained to me that there is only one more thing we can try before they have to fuse the vertaebrae in my back together in order to stop the nerves from being pinched. This last ditch effort to control the pain involves two minor surgeries (don't have a date yet, but hopefully sometime in the next few weeks). They will be implanting an electronic device in my back that will send electronic impulses thru my spinal cord to block the pain. The first suirgery is just to implant the leads along the spinal cord as a trial to make sure that it will work before they actually implant the device under my skin. If it works then I will go back to surgery for them to implant the device. I' am explaining this because I wanted to let you all know that I may or may not be around much for next lil bit. It just depends on how I feel on a day to day basis. One thing for sure I will miss all of you very much and I hope to be back playing the game with all of you very soon!

Thanks all your thoughts & prayers are appreciated . Lol don't worry Scar you can't run me off that easily hehe, Duncan was & still is sad to leave, but unfortunately with his work hours he really has a very limited time to play. I miss him terribly lmao he got me hooked on this game and in the eight yrs we been playing we've been practically inseperable til now :-( . Which makes me all the more glad that I have found Haven and am so glad to be a part of it all. Yes I'm glad that I finally have a date the not knowing was pretty bad...can't wait to have it over and get better so I can join ya in all the fun times again :-)
