A Life Speed Bump

My life has hit a speed bump, so I will be off line for as little as a week or as long as a month, I’m not sure. I am scheduled for surgery early next month. I’ll write as many blog entries as I have time for this coming week in between preparations for being away.

There are so many people cheering for me that I have no doubt I’ll have a good recovery. It’s been heartening to hear so many kind words.

The last week or so has been a whirlwind of doctors’ appointments, lab and other tests, etc., leaving me pretty exhausted. There’s a long list of blood tests being done, many of which I’ve never heard of. It’s not over yet. I still have an office visit with one doctor and a phone appointment with another next week to insure that my health qualifies me for surgery.

It’s amazing how motivating such a coming event is toward getting tasks done that I’ve been putting off. I’ve had a will ready to sign for a long time. I’m pretty sure I’ll get that done now. Other little insurance and financial things that have been put on the back burner will get moved forward. Writing will be on a back burner for a short time.

Happily, I’ve already voted in the primary election to replace Congressional Representative David Wu, and I should be around in time to vote in the final election. I’m sorry we lost his services; I thought he did a good job of representing his district. Sadly, personal problems caused his downfall.

Now for some rest—until next time.
