We got a dog. Her name is Fancy because she wears a tuxedo. Lots of guesses about her lineage, but the shelter had her listed as a pit bull mix. Maybe some boxer? Who knows. Anyway, she's ours, and a good fit for our family (less of a fit for my allergies, though).

I hope that Fancy will be a great addition to your family for many many years!
Thanks for the kind words. The surgery was rough and recovery time is 6 months on the conservative end, but it's truly life changing. The pain I was in before was unliveable and the medication I was on to be able to walk and function made me mentally slow and confused. I was a shell of myself. Luckily, I have a couple months hiatus from work while I wear my back brace and start physical therapy once fusion begins. I'm also blessed with a very supportive boyfriend and great parents who came out from NJ to take care of household chores and such for a month. It's a slow process, but at least I was finally able to begin the process. I'm truly grateful. Thanks again for checking in.
