The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Let them go! Let them go!

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Well... I've been better.

Went to the doctor today. The details are better left unsaid, but the essential bit is that I've got a hernia. A pretty nasty one. To quote the nurse: "Yeow". :-)

So... I have an appointment for tomorrow with a surgeon. Dunno what will happen when after that.

Huh. [sip]

Never had surgery before. It's an adventure.

Yup.... I thought about posting a big ole prayer vanity for you [lol] but you'll see I left it for you to announce your predicament to the thread :~D

You still want company on Sunday? Hang around with ya? We were thinkin' of picking up some chicken and fixins or something... and instead of beach vollyball, maybe we'll just watch a movie or something with ya :~D

No sense changing the plans... I probably won't be running and jumping much but I can sit still just as good as always. :-)

HOT!

The best thing to do is walk right through the door and right into the shower.

A cold shower. So refreshing!

Oh goody... I'll be prayin' for ya!

If it's the...emm...usual sort of hernia, it's not that big of a deal, surgery wise. One of my brothers has had a reoccurring problem (should be taken care of, finally) and recently had hernia surgery. Other than being sore for a few days and having to avoid lifting much, he was fine.

That's what I'm hopin' for. Hopefully not a big deal. Just kinda' an unplanned diversion.

I'm tellin' ya.

You can practically see the steam rising off of your body when you walk into an air-conditioned room from outside.
