i am happy to report that i am now pain free! incisions are a little sore, but i'm a country girl and we know how to deal! went out on a brush fire yesterday. day before, had a dude suffer stroke and cause miles of damage (a guardrail, a couple ditches, a mailbox or two, etc...) before finally pulling the vehicle over. feels good to up and back out there. if nothing else, at least i have the time for my vollie unit now since the county won't let me on theirs yet. see doc next week- hopefully get cleared to come back to work by the end of the month.
