So grandma finally had her back surgery yesterday. Good news! It was a success. There was a massive calcium build up pushing on her spinal cord, AND the cyst she had, which was also pushing on her spinal cord was 10 times the size they thought. Think of an iceburg, where you can only see the tip and its HUGE under water. That's how the cyst was. They got it all, but it was difficult, since it impeded so much.

The only bad thing is she lost a lot of blood so she needed a blood transfusion....

Here's an example of how awful ours is at least.

They demand a $600 deposit that is to be given back after six months of payments that are on time. Not too bad of a deal. Except...

After paying on time for about four months, suddenly no bills were appearing. Calls to the company resulted in lie after lie. "Your bills are online only!" or "Don't worry, you have $XXX credit for extra payment. You don't have to pay this month."

My stomach is so weird! Yesterday every time I ate, I got sick. That was unpleasant, but I could deal with it.

I want to buy this: Canon 40d

It is everything I am looking for in a camera, but it's a big chunk of change so I keep putting it off.

Right now it's go an instant rebate for $200!

My lower back is all knoted up, and it goes all the way down my right side into the back of my thigh. Usually a good stretch does it fine and the problem goes away, but I did 30 minutes of stretching last night and I swear its worse. I have a heating pad on it right now.

Any other suggestions? Can't do a massage. Liz = broke and Todd sucks at them.
