Twists & Turns

Hmmm.....

Every once in a while life throws you a curve ball.

Long story short, we've been thrown such a ball. Tomorrow my hubs, GB, will undergo surgery to ~fix~ two of the vertebrae in his upper spine. It's pretty critical he has this done as if he doesn't, he'll end up in a wheel chair sooner than later for the rest of his life. It's a surgery that's really quite common, but when it's happening to you/your family, it's quite unique and quite scary. To say the least, I've been preoccupied of late and have spent minimal time here or anywhere else. And it looks like that's going to continue for the foreseeable future.

I know we'll be in the thoughts and prayers of those who know us, and that's appreciated more than we could ever tell you. Thank you, thank you! I'll get back to visiting all my favorite haunts as soon as I can. Until then, know you're never far from my longing to visit you/talk to you!

  10. This is indeed a curveball - and what a lousy time of the year for it too.

    However - look on the bright side. By Christmas he'll actually be on the better side than the worse side.

    I will be thinking of you and yours along with everyone else who is.

    Positive positive positive. That is always my mantra these days. Do it times 3 girl.

    If it were me - and with my back it just might be sooner than later - I'd be having the surgery too in a heartbeat. I'd rather walk than ride and I'm sure you hubby thinks the same way.

    I'll be keeping an eye out. And my heart goes with you and yours.
    And if you need someone - ya - Daryl is so close and would be there before you put the phone down. She's so like that!
