So how the heck is everyone doing? What have ya'll been up to?
I've just been insanely happy getting to know the new guy in my life I'm very excited about him and he's none other than our very own Timeless. So thats pretty much the happy and exciting stuff going on with me.
On a not so fun note, I saw my neurosurgeon again yesterday and he brought up the ugly surgery word again and its looking a little more likely that I may have to get my spine fused.
The only other things I've got going is that I'm leaving for Baltimore on Monday and I'll hopefully be seeing Brittany that night, and I'll be seeing Dr. Francomano next tuesday on my 21st birthday

Katherine, what was the infection in your mouth?
Because my reason for asking is, last week I had to go to the doctors because one morning I woke up with ulcers everywhere in my mouth and down my throat. It was really hard to swallow and I had to take this awful medicine to clear it up.
They called it the calsacki virus. apparently you can catch it just like a cold and you get tons of ulcers, etc.
