The weather has been wonderful. It did get a little warm yesterday but the nights and mornings are cool and crisp. We take Marissa to the bus stop at 6:45 and I grab a sweater.

Great picture of Sir Winston, Conor. He looks like he is in control.

Have a Dandy Dogurday.

I’m hoping it stays this way for awhile...I am so enjoying it! We do have the chilly mornings but it’s worth it. :)

You will definitely be in my prayers, Kitty. What time is your surgery scheduled?

I will also be praying that God guides your surgeons.

Happy Caturday






Got Dressed,
walked the dog,
had breakfast,
posted the blog
called mom,
went to work,
Taught three students,
(one's mom is a jerk),
Went home,
spackled a ceiling,
Sat down,
played guitar (with FEELING),
Walked the dog,

Made a salad
Answered the threads,
Wrote a ballad.
I think I deserve a rest now.

I shall.

Just called Mom again. Her target date for going home is next Wednesday.

My Brother Tom got sideswiped on his Harley.(He’s OK, he pulled the fender off the wheel and rode it home. I bet he will be VERY sore tomorrow though)

And my sister got robbed of every piece of jewelry in her home. She thinks it was probably her son’s creepy ex-girlfriend.

See what happens when I move away and am not around to supervise these people?

Doc has no intention on repairing it any time soon, it is still ‘to small’ a tear. So in the meantime nerve blocks will be done every few months, and each one last less time than the one before. By the time he gets around to doing the repair, 0’care will see to it, I won’t get it done.

Campbell Clinic is the #1 ortho clinic in Memphis. He said surgery would do more damage than the tear is causing. He is not the one in pain, with a hand that is getting useless again. If this next nerve block does not work for more than a couple of months, I will push him into doing the micro one. The stupid tear is right under the surface of the skin on the top of the shoulder. If it were the left one, it could be lived with, but I am very right handed.

We are Medicare/Tricare, and got hit from both directions with 0’care.

(((((Thank you for your Prayers, Dear Amy!)))))

I have to Check in at 6:30 AM for Preparation, and then the Surgery will Begin at 8:30.
My 1st Microdisectomy was in 2006, as an Inpatient for 2 Days.
I'm Grateful that this One will be Outpatient.

Thank you with All my Heart for your Prayers!
