Hi, guys! My husband has always said that KISS is the best band in history!! I surprised him back in August with two premium VIP tickets to see you guys in concert at Jiffy Lube in Bristow, Virginia. It was an absolutely awesome show - and I have to agree with my husband that this was the best concert we've ever seen!! I had to sit down during parts of the concert because of severe pain in my back and leg, though. I look forward to seeing you again in concert when my back is fixed. We have also become huge fans of Gene Simmons Family Jewels - we watch it almost every night after getting off work! Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I am having a lumbar fusion on Oct. 6 at Fair Oaks Hospital in Fairfax, VA. Last year, I had a broken vertebrae and herniated disc and had a posterior lumbar fusion which ended up failing. So, I have to go through it all over again :( We have recently learned that Paul had several hip surgeries - this gave me tons of hope since apparently he came through it and is now back to performing on stage like nothing ever happened!! Seeing this concert has helped me more than you know - I have so much hope that I will get back to my normal life after this surgery! Just wanted to let you know that you have given someone out there tremendous hope!! Thanks!! Maria
