Halo Gone!  New Beginning For Me! by grammyn

Halo Gone! New Beginning For Me!

I have fallen from the celestial to the common. I am happy to take my place with humanity once again!!

After three months of wearing a halo device because of a broken neck from a car wreck I can start trying to return to a " normal " existence.

An entry for the 6 word story challenge
You look beautiful! Yaaaaay! Congratulations! So happy for you! Best six word story yet! Fav!

January 28th, 2014  
@grammyn I am so glad that you are out of the halo. You have got to feel so much better and a lot more comfortable. Amazing that you do not have to do P/T but really nice. I figured your neck would become very stiff after three months in one position, so do you have to be careful in moving it? I bet you are sleeping a lot better now as well.
January 29th, 2014  
Woohoo! How absolutely wonderful. So good to see you back.

FAV!!!
January 29th, 2014

I linked to you from your comment on mine...and was about to comment on the lighthouse edit pic. then, in your 8 photo "last posted" thumbnail view, a photo of a GORGEOUS smiling woman jumped out at me. You! I am so happy for you for getting that monstrosity off. I am glad they have said monstrosity....to make people better, But geesh! So awful. You look great too, btw...very glamorous!
January 31st, 2014

and it pop pop popped on the pop page I see. yay! I would have known that if I were near a computer. I could have checked my phone app of 365, but I was driving home (trying to) from 3:15 to 2 PM on Tues. night.
January 31st, 2014
