    Mom seems to be feeling a bit better. Still no sign of when the 3 chest tubes and drain will be removed. Whenever that happens she will be going to a pulmonary rehab facility to get both pulmonary and physical rehab after her month+ long ordeal. She fully accepts that she can't go straight home, I think she being a former nurse helps with that.

    I've an appointment with a specialist on December 20th to consult on my injections, if an opening comes prior to that I will take it. I've learned I can't go without my muscle relaxers, and have also learned I can't do light weights AND spin on the same evening, it is just too much. My doctor strongly insists I keep both activities going, just moderate them. There are too many downsides to stopping the physical activity totally and I am in full agreement. I feel great when I do an appropriate workout, and fine when I ride or spin, just can't do both on the same evening. So, I will take it!

    Catrin, glad to hear your mother is on the mend. Dear Donald is not yet. He will be scheduled into another surgery. It's his last hope.

    Same here. Lots of them.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Damn, Mimi. I'm sorry. Hopefully things improve...

    Dear thief:
    I hope you ride bikes, because the only thing in that package was a pair of bike shorts.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Oh Mimi - The surgery will work. I wish I could just hug you now. I know you must be feeling so low. The internet just doesn't give me the tools to say what I want to. But, it will be okay. He will get better.
