I have been gone for 1 1/2 months and am glad to be back. It is good to see you back Claudia !! I have a blown out disc in my back with a floating bone. The Dr. said it would be a nasty operation because my ribs are in the way. The Dr. said that I could try to heal on my own but during this time I am in extreme pain. I have not been able to use my left side because of the paralyzing pain, this included typing. Last week we were flooded out of our house. We are back now with no damage, just inconvenient and scary. Kiko started losing more hair again. We found a new doctor. He is homeopathic and is doing more than the previous doctors altogether had done. So, hopefully ? ? ? We don't have many more chances, we are down to nothing to work with. She is a cutie the way she is! ! ! I have missed you all so much. You are at the top of my list of blessings that I am so grateful for. Kiko's birthday is November 27th. She will be 4. Diana
