well i'm pretty bad at keeping up.  sorry!!!  I am now on my 3rd neck brace the good part is it is only on the neck, not down to my belly button and all around.  I go to see how my leg is coming along on Oct 15th, and my MRI on my throat and eye is Nov 1st.  My INR count is up over 2 so we r going in the right direction.  It is unbelievable to me how much support all of you have given me during this time.  I know its a major part of keeping me strong emotionally;   I thank all of you for being you!!!!
