Hi everyone, so sorry it has been SO LONG since I have participated. I always have such good intentions, but then every time I read the messages to catch up, I get OVERWHELMED and don't know where to start. So, I am just going to jump into the "pool". My heart aches for Greg and his medical condition. I can't begin to express how much I admire his courage and strength.......I KNOW how hard it is to keep a positive attitude and keep fighting each and every minute of every day. Every time I start to post my "updates", I feel so silly complaining when others are so much worse off than I am. BUT, here goes. I am 24hrs away from my 4th back surgery. They have all been successful, mostly due to an AMAZING team of specialists. Along with the back surgeries, I have had numerous joints replaced over the years. Gues all those years of baton twirling (plus) finally caught up to me! I am NOT looking forward to this surgery as "they" keep referring to this one as a "major commitment".......if I had a choice it would be different. TIME to get out of this pain and move on! Temporary inconvenience, permanent fix! One step at a time! Now that I have whined, I just want to thank everyone for their positive thoughts and prayers......I WILL be fine....just have to be a patient patient.

Other than the surgery, my life is GREAT! I have a loving supportive husband and family that wraps me in LOVE. I have a wonderful house (all 1 level), big/fun yard full of flowers and plants, and 8 cats (7 outdoor/feral) and 1 indoor, ALL extremely spoiled! I live in San Diego with lovely neighbors and outstanding weather. I have a job I work 1 day a week (mostly) in sports. So, as you can see, I really have nothing to complain about!

THANKS to all of you that keep this site going, and a BIG HUG to each and every one of you!!! THANKS for listening. Peace out, LEE

Ashley, thank you for the update....I am beyond sad to know that the world has lost a truly bright star. I will continue to hold her in my heart and cherish the chats that we had in our adult life.....we had a lot in common. My love to you and the family that she loved so much! HUGS, Lee Baker
