TIMELINE TAKES A DETOUR!!!!!!

Mike To Have Surgery:
Hubby Mike has another ruptured disc in his back. The only way they can fix it, is to fuse the section. After 3 surgeries and the last one they fused at L5, because the disc had eroded away,and was already gone. The L4 disc is leaking out and causing irritation in the spinal nerves. This one they are going to go ahead and fuse, and add some type of basket, that bone can grow through, so the shell of the disc won't collapse. Since we have been through this once before, with his back and he has an excellent neuro surgeon we know what to expect. So our departure date will make a slight curve by about 4 weeks. We are still hopeful about going to Busch Gardens, but it will depend how long it is before Mike feels like he can drive safely! We knew this was pretty much a done deal, as far as, Mike going to have surgery, so we're not all that upset. All we we're waiting for was a date for the surgery, so on February 20th Mike will have his surgery, and we can then work toward getting back on our time line!

MISCELLANEOUS:
Things are looking up as far as SPRING! I haven't noticed any robins yet, but it may be a bit soon for them. I would give it another 4 weeks and I bet we'll be seeing lot's of them! Plenty of time to finish packing up my craft room , NO, I am not done with it ! It, just keeps getting put off, and maybe I am procrastinating, just a little bit too! The sooner that Mike has his surgery and I am taking care of him the better and the faster we can get back to our plans! I think we'll see if we can find a jigsaw puzzle to work on, after Mike gets home from the hospital. Something to help pass the time while his back is healing, and in between those post surgery doctor appointments!

Weather:
It has been one of those dreary February days here today, still some rain in the area, and mist over all the rivers and small lakes around here. Kind of neat and a good setting for a spooky story or something like that. Just a lazy day here for this retired couple. We are getting anxious to get the hitch installed in the back of our truck so we can then pick up our fiver!!! Is there such a thing as pre- full time hitch itch? Lol!! We won't have the hitch installed before Mike's surgery so we still have some hurry up and wait time! Haha! We are working on getting new tires for the truck before that though! They will have to be ordered and then put on the truck. After that's done we will go and have the inspection on the fiver and learn how to use all our new toys!!(new features on the trailer) After that we get to bring it home for the first time!!!!!!! I'm sure on that day I'll have a big post explaining how all the gadgets work! Happy Tuesday everyone and that brings this post to a close!
