Surgery Date
- I have a surgery date. January 20th. On the whole, I am happy that I actually HAVE a date! {It sounds a bit weird even to me to be happy about a surgery date but, you all know how long-drawn-out this whole thing has been. And, again, I find myself thinking I DON’T have cancer. And, if I do, well, I will deal with it when it happens}
- Well, weather-wise, it appears we are back to winter because the temperature is now 41. A couple of days ago, it was in the 70’s. I prefer this temperature. Oh, and the sun is shining which always helps me feel good.
- I have to go out after I have cleaned up the kitchen to get at least some eggs. I ate the last two scrambled for breakfast this morning.
- I just looked at the time and it is almost 11 am! How did that happen and I have nothing done!
- I am watching a man outside trying to get his dog to follow him by waving his arms! I think a leash would work much better!
An emotion is only an emotion.
It’s just a small part of your whole being.
You are much more than your emotion.
An emotion comes, stays for a while, and goes away, just like a storm.
If you’re aware of that, you won’t be afraid of your emotions.
~Thich Nhat Hanh
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. — Marcus Aurelius
It’s all perspective, isn’t it? I would LOVE 41 degrees. It’s almost that WARM now. 🙂

There’s a man outside my window, waving his arms also – and shouting. He’s trying to get his three year old son on a battery powered motorcycle to follow him home. A leash would probably work here too. I’m not sure which one should wear it.

What’s the rush? It seems like a lot of seniors here are rushing around. I think we all need to slow down.

I think it makes perfect sense to be happy about a surgery date! Cuz after surgery, as you’ve said before you can start getting back to doing other things! :o) !! It was 74 degrees on Sunday in Delaware…..which was kinda ridiculous! And Monday when we got to Carrie’s in Michigan……BRRRRRRRR!!!!! shiver-shiver!! But I do like it better! Happy Christmas, my friend! hugs, Nicky

I know it is a relief to have a date for your surgery. I don’t think it is bad to be thrilled to have surgery. I was thrilled to have my knee joint replacement 2 yrs ago b/c I was in pain every step I took! I’ve been great since the surgery. Hope the same for you. Hope you and Jake had a nice Christmas.
