I'm sorry that I wasn't in the chat room Monday night.

I was in the emergency room Sunday getting a diagonsis of acute chronic pain in my lower back and left hip. No cartilige in my hip and three of my vertebrae are now one, complete with spars on them.

I'm on two separet pain pills (one is a muscle relaxant) and a pill for muscle spasms so if you see me spaced out . . . I have a good reason now!

You all take care!

Dear Virginia,

We were all thinking of you on Monday night. I think I can, perhaps, speak for all of us in wishing you a quick and thorough recovery.

Remember: Follow doctor's orders!

Sincerely,
Rush

Having had emergency bowel surgery and kidney failure in October, I can only say how much I appreciated those painkillers. Get better soon.

Gary B,
Gotta love those pills!
Hope you're feeling better!
Virginia

Rush,
Don't think I felt screwy Monday night!
I hope to make it this next Monday . . . at least for a while!
Virginia

Dear Virginia,

Just get well, first, THEN take the rest as you feel able - including our Chats. Take care...

Sincerely,
Rush

Rush,

Virginia
