Libbie Peterson writes I am so sorry to hear the flu bug bit you, you have my sympathy, I'm sure you are miserable. I got my flu shot last week, and with all of the runny noses, and coughs I run into in the classroom, I sure was glad to have it. I can't believe that I have substituted 24 days since school began, and have another 6 already reserved for November and December. It almost feels like full-time. Michele, our Reunion scorekeeper, had surgery to repair a bulging disk and pinched nerve in her neck. She now has a steel plate and several screws, for support. For the past 4 weeks, she had very little control of her arm, and hand. The feeling and control was very minimal, but the pain intense. She went home this morning, 16 hours following surgery, wearing a hard brace. She will be in the hard brace for 8 weeks, and a soft brace for 4 weeks. It is truly amazing what now can be done with surgery patients, in such a minimal length of time. Hope you will soon be feeling better, and can enjoy the beautiful weather.
