I found this video when I was using Stumble. It made me laugh out loud several times. The part where the little raccoon played with his ferret buddy was just charming.

That is too cute, I love it Connie! I love raccoons and ferrets it was a lot of fun to watch.

My back surgery is over and I left the hospital. I was worried about my animals at home in this awful heat. We left the air on but you just never know when the electric can go off or something breaks.

It did turn out to be a much more difficult surgery than they anticipated. I have months of recovery ahead. The whole curve was naturally fused. When I get a little stronger I'll scan the xrays it is kind of interesting. Between the two necks and three back surgeries I know have over a half a million dollar back. All the cancer surgery and resulting flesh eating infections I'd almost bet I have hit the million mark. Thank got the supreme court came through when they did.

George has got to give me a bunch of shots trying to avoid the blood clots this time and also the spinal column is very swollen right now. Time will tell but right now for the first time in many years there is no extreme pain in my feet. Still bad pain in legs and back but a lot of healing before I will tell a difference there.

Thank you for sharing. I won't be able to sit at the desk for any periods of time. But I will check in a couple of times a day. Thank you again, I really enjoyed the video!

Diana, somehow I missed that you were having surgery. Thanks for letting me know how it came out. It's wonderful that the animals are fine and that George is such a great guy. Plus, you have about the best attitude in the world. I'm sorry not to get to SD this year, and also sad that you won't be able to be in Indianapolis with us. Bless you!

I am home and trying to keep all these animals cool It is just plain hot outside! I hope we can get together again, hopefully for an extended period of time the next time. We do have a whole second side of a house we don't use! A vacation unit for you!

Bob and I are smiling! That is so generous of you!

I am so sorry that I didn't answer somehow I just lost a whole week of my life! I thought I felt great then the doctor told me they had me on huge doses of steroids to keep the spinal cord swelling down. That isn't including all the wonderful hard core drugs. Here is a picture of the xrays Spine surgery

At least memory is returning....lol it has been interesting.
