Wait until Thursday!

My mother(and us) must now wait until Thursday for her surgery. And then it's supposed to be as minimally imvasive as possible! What does that mean? The problems aren't fixed? Don't do anything that could possibly cause a fatality? What will life be like for her afterwards?

Unfortunately, I don't live as near to my mother as my sister does. And, when she visits the hospital - as she does every day = the doctor is conveniently not there for her to ask any questions. My mother, on the other hand, implicitly trusts the doctor's judgement and will not ask any questions.

What's going to happen is anybody's guess. We're going to have to take it day-by-day and see how things unfold - maybe a better word is unravel - since the surgery is not an option. On the plus side, she is feeling better.

So, tomorrow, we go to a friend's house and replace their vanity. On Thursday, it's the hospital. Thereafter, I don't know.

I'm feeling fine. As I said before, there are so-so days and good days for my eyes. Today was somewhere in between. But, overall, I feel fine. In fact, when I was walking on the treadmill the past two days, it did not seem as daunting as it had been. So, maybe things are looking up in other areas.

As with everything, it's all in God's hands...
