Surgery

Results today from D.'s CT scan.  The radiologist says the  scan today looks  unchanged from six weeks ago/
Surgery is scheduled fro Monday, May 27.

Surgery changed to May 29.

Six Weeks

Six weeks has passed now since D.'s last CT scan.  The last one showed a bit of  healing.  We are hopeful this weeks will show more  healing.  He still is not able to be up very long without being forced back to bed by pain.  Some of the pain meds make him sick and to heave hurts so badly.  I can do nothing but try and be supportive and keep praying.  

This has been a wonderful time for us though in spite of all of these issues.  We have grown closer to each other and closer to the Lord. A new commitment on many counts.  The Lord is good!

S will be home for my birthday.  He has a sleep study to get done to satisfy his company and driving laws.  We both are looking forward to seeing him again.  I saw a photo of M last night and it is quite remarkable how much S looks like him.  It's like an older and younger photo of the same person.  They even sound very similar on the phone.

This has been a strange rainy sleepy kind of day.

Sleep

Sleep, these days was a rare butterfly that refused capture until it lay exhausted, clinging precariously to the underside of some green leaf. The woman watched it a moment in the half-light as it rested fragile and delicate suspended in the mist until weary wings collapsed and it slipped away gently to the forest floor. A morning bird had been watching too. The flash of movement had attracted his attention. He hushed his sun song and swooped down landing with perfect precision to where the butterfly lay. He cocked his head from side to side inspecting the fallen with a keen and critical eye. At last, finding it quite suitable for a hungry bird's breakfast, snatched it up and carried it high into the branches of a tall oak. With two great gulps, the butterfly was gone and the bird continued his task of waking the sun.

The sun complied and rose hot and sticky. It quickly blasted away the last bits of coolness. Sweat prickled and creased rivers down her back. The woman sighed. It was going to be a long day- a very long day indeed.

Makes me Wonder

Makes me really wonder why an insurance company thinks s that a compression fracture BREAK at T8 would be totally well in 2-4 weeks.

Well, then there is pool therapy right?
Yes, indeed!  Put on that body brace and swim!

sigh

Spring?

S was here last weekend.  Well, for Friday and Saturday night.  At least he got a small break.

M has removed me from his friends list on FB again.  I truly don't understand him.  Wonder what I did this time?

Maybe Spring has finally came for good.  Birds have discovered our feeder.  We have a wonderful pair of doves, some red wing blackbirds, robins and some  "Ugly Joes"  D calls them. They take the peanuts and fly away with them.

Jim & Lish  will be in town Friday and Saturday. > Andy B, is playing at a place called  "The Tin Roof?

Hope to get to have a short visit.

Strange phone call from Mama tonight.  She called my old number which belongs to S now.  sigh..
