Life among the oranges

Finally, Hubby got the OK to get in the pool. Got a chance to swim today before the rain came. Everything is healing fine on the outside, still got months to go before the inside is healed.

Sorry to said that we ate the pineapple before I could get a photo of it. Not sorry, cause it was so sweet and juicy. Got some papayas started from ...

Hubby got 48 staples taken out of his back this week. Still can't get in the pool for another 6 weeks. He can do more for himself everyday it seems. I still have to tie his shoes and help with the pants (he can't bend over or twist). The good thing is that now he is not driving to work we are saving a bundle on gas.

Latest update on my pineapple. I'm hoping that it will be ripe come Aug/Sept.

Things are looking up now. Hubby went in to hospital last week for spine surgery. Had a 6 hr one on Tuesday and then another 7 1/2 hr one Thursday. Everyone is so happy he can now feel his feet and turn his head. Now comes about 6 months of healing and P.T.

Been out of the system for a while. Hubby has finally gotten dates for his back surgery. So have been busy getting him to doc appts and other tests. the docs will be going in from the side to replace the disks that are bad (L2 to L5), then two days later will go in from the back to put "cages" around the spine to stabilize it.
