My cervical spine surgery of February 14th went well and I had spent four days in the hospital. I have been recovering at home since that time. This includes wearing a hard-brace neck collar 24/7 which prevents me from doing any driving. My surgeon had mentioned that perhaps I could get rid of the collar by the end of March. I really miss praying with you at Mass and prayer services. Please continue to keep me in your prayers during this recovery period. Hope to be with you soon. Blessings, Deacon Paul
