First, Geri and I would like to thank everyone who sent their best wishes, prayers and good vibs our way.

They worked.

Last Thursday, Geri underwent a 4 to 5 hour surgery on her damaged back. They removed all of the old hardware that had been in place for the past 7 years and installed new hardware plus some.

I was able to bring my gal home today and like they say "There Is No Place Like Home"

All of the original pain causing symptoms are gone. She is now dealing with the pains related to any major surgery. (These will get less as the days pass).

So to all our chipping pals-We are back and we will have a contest regarding our 6 week trip to the Convention in the near future.

Again, thank for everything. It meant a lot to both of us.
