Counting down...

Tomorrow is surgery day, and while I am 99% sure everything is going to go fine, anecdotally speaking two out of the three people I know who have had the same surgery have not recovered well. Which just gives me something to obsess about.

Overall I have been trying to be grateful for several things: the Porcupine keeping up with my list of demands, the weather being non-eventful, the fact that my left hand is more dexterous than I could have hoped, and having a librarian for a neighbor who is willing to drop off books. I’m also grateful for the friends and family, who are hearing from me more often than ever, and are patiently listening to my diatribes about everything from the current news to the healthcare system to how I never realized how difficult it would be to brush my teeth with my left hand.

In the meantime, I am still drawing chickens. Or, in this case, our rooster. Be well and be safe, everyone.
