Hi everyone:
Sorry I disappeared from the board for half a year. I had a major upper back surgery in March (they cut a hole through my rib cage, another through one of my back bones, had to severe some damaged nerves, remove a disk, blech!)
I was recovering nicely when I slipped on some spilled oil in my garage (which is neat as pin, but I was working something at the time). After that, I began passing out frequently and having severe headaches. After almost two months of hellish pain and worrisome fear (And a week long inconclusive hospital stay where they tested EVERYTHING) it turned out that a sharp edge of bone from my surgery had sliced through the outer sheath of my spinal cord and I was leaking spinal/brain fluid.
Had another heavy surgery in June. Good news is, I'm finally getting better. I'm glad to be alive, and am returning to work and play (gradually!). I'm able to get back into my hobbies, such as cars again, and am back on the board!
On another note, I've had a lot of people ask me about the gal modeling with the Mazda and Magnum in my avatar and signature. In fact, so many PM's that I'm glad she has a website now, you can go there to see more photos and stuff!
Her name is Alex Rogeo, and her website is:
www.AlexTheCarGirl.com
There are three photos of her with my Mazda, "ZZ," in her Gallery. So please go there instead of PM'ing me for more photos! :tongue:
I'm so glad to back amongst the living!!! Zoom-Zoom!
