5 more days till freedom (sort of anyway)

Yea!!! I get to finally take off (well in a few days) the neck restricting torture device, by that I mean the cervical collar I have been wearing for the last 5 weeks. I know it is important to my neck's proper healing, but I am really starting to get sick of it. I am just happy I didn't have to wear it in the heat of summer (I could expand on that thought but I would rather spare you all the yucky details). Anyway I am looking forward to being pain free for the first time in months. I guess I should add that I feel much better already but the c-collar does inflict its own pain, different from the pain of the damaged vertebral disk, but it seems that that will go away when I am done wearing it. The incision is healing up nicely but is still a little tender so I am trying to not touch it if I can help it.

10 days to go!!!

I can't tell you how much wearing this cervical collar sucks.
Anyway, all is well at the Santoro household, we put up our Christmas tree last night and we are looking forward to a fun party at our good friends Brian and Kelly Pechin's house tomorrow night. My friend Dan posted a funny video today on Facebook and I am posting it here for all to see! It really made me laugh.
