But wait...there's more!
Yesterday, I got a call from my knee surgeon's office offering me a surgery date: September 15th. The work complications arising from this date are just too hard to handle and I also want to have a better idea of what my back is up to, so I have refused the date. In its place, I have November 17th. Although I wish it were slightly earlier (yes, we have winter where I live!), from a work, family and spinal point of view, this is a much better date.
I continue to read and to muse, but my posts might be a bit spotty until I feel calmer and less worried.
Good thoughts sent my way are always appreciated!
