O.T.

I am so happy today that I can barely sit still. I go in for surgery next
Tuesday. This may not seem like something to be happy about but, it will be
the first in a series of operations that, if everything goes as planned,
will enable me to walk again by next summer. I really don't mind giving up
the wheelchair.

As one who came within a "gnats breath" of being where you are, I can
honestly say, "Anytime you can put one foot in front of the other, you are
ahead of the game." Most of us go through life not knowing just how
wonderful a gift the ability to walk is.

All the best over the next year. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.

You are in my prayers.

Well Geezzzzus! Here's to hoping each step goes well! But think about this
first - once you're walking again, all of those Honey Do chores breath a new
life....

Will it be as much fun as the chemo I am going to be subjected to
starting Jan 2121?

Up to now I feel pretty darned fine. Short of breath. Thassall.

Having gone the wheelchair route myself I have to say I much prefer walking,
even with an assist from a cane or two.

Best of luck to you next week and may the rest of the new year be filled
with happy strolls!

Hey, will it be just like our teen years, only different drugs?

Not to worry. It's only excess banana fumes. (I hope.)

OUCH! Ping me offline if you don't feel like chatting about that
