The doctor is setting me up for another round of sacral nerve ablation. It's been more than two years since the last time, so the nerve regrowth was slow.
I elected this instead of cortisone cocktail injections, which only have a 50/50 chance of working beyond the first few weeks.
There will be a few rounds of instructional PT and she recommended continuing weight loss.
I hope to do as well as Dee.
Without knowing it, she put my feet back on the ground with a few messages regarding writer's tools. Clarifying my own process for myself was a revelation that I needed badly.
For all the cats in my life, I don't remember one being a teenager. All the cats seem to be having Spring zoomies, this one springing around with her tail all puffed up chasing the reflections from my phone screen. Some time in the night, she nested up on the pillow in my hair, running her little engine. That's a drug you could bottle and sell. Kitten Sleep Magic.
There will be 4H camp this summer!
Right after this, we hastily planted some potato sets that had sprouted in the trunk of my car. He expects to make potato chips in the Fall.
The Camillia is just coming into bloom.
All this a sorely needed reminder that the world keeps turning no matter what worries or fantasies we cultivate for ourselves.

Delightful time with adult children and grandchildren.
A pause in health issues.
You've confirmed my need for a kitty. Mine's been gone for years, I still feel her tuck in behind me knees when I sleep.
Our red and yellow Christmas Camilla is still in bloom and a first year blooming Pink bush has a plethora of big buds to look forward to.
Then your words...
"All this a sorely needed reminder that the world keeps turning no matter what worries or fantasies we cultivate for ourselves."
Thank you!
Deb~ Oh gosh, I hope the nerve ablation gives you a ton of relief. So good to read of other regular life goings-on. The world does keep turning...
Good morning Deeb, I hope you get better soon. When my thoughts start to circle too much, I go out into nature and, like you, I notice that the world keeps turning without me and every year the tits and robins are there. The cornelian cherry is now blooming very bravely. Always on time. So I chase away the unwanted thoughts. Best wishes, Katja
Yes, the Earth Turns and we keep on keeping on...I just finished reading an old Devereau book about time travel. If I was going back to change something- when would it be- interesting thing to consider at 78.
I hope your cat finds you. Two of ours came to us as adults when their person lost her home. Colin rescued Camilla when she was a kitten someone had thrown away. The rhythm of thier needs keeps my life in order. In return I get comfort, companionship and critics.
Still waiting to hear from the scheduling people. Having UHC worries me these days.
We have a riot of bluebirds in the crape Myrtle Grove right now and the lawn is dotted with white violets.
I'm writing all mornings these days. You won't like this one either.
I can relate ... our two 12 year old grandsons are all of a sudden looking older and stronger and sheesh, they aren't little kids anymore ... how'd that happen?
