Hi and a good evening to you. Finally have a new date for the surgery. I am sorry defg, it;s on a Monday and that is because we need to fit in physical therapy three days per week. This surgeon is adamant on that therapy. He expects his patients to walk without a metal walker within two weeks, though in some cases it may not be physically possible. In my husband’s case, he will have therapy for the knee as well as for the lower back. I didn’t realize that walking the way he does now affects the spine. I surmise that following surgery he will have xrays taken in that area if that wasn’t done previously. At the end of 6 weeks he will be able to drive me crazy within our area. After 13 weeks we will see if he can help with the driving north. That will be 1300 miles plus. At this point we are looking at the middle of December for the return, though, as you know, weather will be playing a big role in this. What we may do is fly home and rent a car and set up doctor appointments, though for now, that will be dental during a two or three week period. If the surgeon gives us an OK sooner, that will be helpful. At the moment his surgery is expected to be on September 12th. He will have therapy following surgery and I surmise the next day as well. We will get those answers as we get closer to the surgical date. We are both happy that he will not need any blood tests prior to surgery though we will meet with a nurse at the hospital a week prior to go over any questions or concerns. I think both of us are more relaxed about the procedure and hoping by the day of surgery we will no longer have the high temps and humidity. Maybe going through the stages was to get us to this point.

The month of September is usually beautiful in Florida. Warm days and cool nights. Temps, for the most part will be in the mid 80s with little or no humidity. Night time temps will be in the mid 60s. I always wish we could open a window on those cool nights, but cannot for two reasons. The first one is that the geckos know how to crawl up the screen and come inside and the second sinus season.

I am now hoping that xango’s husband will be returning home within the next couple of days. I am also glad that she will have help. I am hoping she asks for a home health aid to help prepare meals and to take her shopping for food when necessary if she isn’t doing a car rental. And, lastly, I hope he continues to exercise once this ordeal has past and he is feeling better. That is so important as you well know.

Guess I better be going. No work accomplished today. The rest and doing those jigsaws on Kindle made it a real fun day. By the way, those jigsaws are free from Amazon. I will be thinking of you as you take your nightly promenade with Poppy under the stars and moonlight. Stay safe.

Don’t Cry for Me Argentina
Song by Madonna

It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I’ve done
You won’t believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she’s dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don’t cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don’t keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions, they’re not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
Don’t cry for me, Argentina
Don’t cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don’t keep your distance
Don’t cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don’t keep your distance
Have I said too much?
There’s nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

Live To Tell
Song by Madonna

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, ’til then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
I’ve seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can’t take that from me
A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, ’til then
It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
If I ran away, I’d never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know
A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, ’til then
It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, ’til then
It will burn inside of me
