Hi everyone,

Yesterday was my first follow-up visit with the surgeon. He said everything looks good. They want me to have a CT scan in 6 months. They promise to pre-treat me so I don't have such a bad reaction to the contrast dye again.

I've been back to work and loving it. It's hard for me to sit still and do nothing so thank god for laptops and wifi!! It allows me to not overdo it. I can't wait to go to Memphis next month for Folk Alliance. I bought the plane tickets today for Georgia and I. We will arrive there on the 7th week from the date of my surgery and I expect to be at or close to 100%. Regardless, I will have a great time.

Thank you to everyone who has made a donation to help with my medical expenses. I started writing checks today and have many more to do. Healthcare is unbelievably high even with health insurance. I hate that I have such a high deductible but at least it afforded me to have insurance.

Rock on,
Madalyn
