Husband's Surgery Monday

Please pray for a successful surgery on my husband's back. A herniated lower back disc will be removed. He will be here at the house for two weeks recouperating.

Since hermits are permitted to be caretakers for one person, this should prove interesting as to how caretaking gets integrated into the horarium. I know our Cloisterite Hermits will benefit from the experience.

Consequently, I will not be able to update any of the blogs until mid-February. God be with you.

Blessings,
Gemma

The next few weeks will be "caddywhumpus" for us.

Our main computer is in Staples' "hospital," awaiting diagnosis. I had to run it over to Staples after Hewlett-Packard said they would not support us, as the machine was over 5 years old.


We're using my Dell laptop presently.

My boys are on half-days, as this is finals week at school. They return to a regular schedule next Wednesday.

I'm trying to fit in every-two-hour-ten-minute lay-downs for my neck, as per my physical therapist's instructions. Three MRIs on my back before Christmas vacation showed bulging neck discs and vertebral bone spurs. My neurologist called for physical therapy. I'm going to request a second opinion, as I'm having numbness in the arms.

Last, but not least, hubby will be having lower back surgery (herniated disc) in two weeks, and will be recumbent for the next two weeks after that.

Pray for us.

Blessings,
Gemma
