Today is Gary's birthday. I have good news and bad news.
Both the good and bad are: Gary is having surgery. It is scheduled for this Friday.
I will spare you all the details as they are not pretty, but he will have surgery to his intestinal tract. He has been experiencing quite a bit of trouble in this area for the last 2 weeks. This has been keeping him from getting up in his wheelchair and working at therapy. He is so frustrated and discouraged. Everyone here has been very positive that this surgery will help, so we are hoping they are correct. He is very anxious to get the surgery moving along.
In the meantime my angels:
A huge THANK YOU to Kathy, Gary's business partner who has been taking care of all the masses of paperwork and substitutes and everything that Gary is not able to do regarding his work right now!!! Gary's comment to this was "as always". She is a whirlwind. Also to everyone at the Orthopedic Surgery Center where Gary has been working for the gigantic Happy Birthday GG sign. After a few scary moments I finally got it hanging up where he can see it. (The PTs were scared not me).
And a big thanks to my friend Jan who took me out for some "retail therapy" and more than a few good laughs!
One more note, Gary is still not interested in reading email, so those of you asking for his address, sorry. Please don't take it personally.
Later today we will have cupcakes and ice cream - if Gary can eat. I am sure SOMEONE will eat them. Of course I can probably do it by myself if I have to!
Hugs,
Judi
Judi, what incredible karma for Gary's attending to have had a similar injury. Their relationship has the potential to be wonderfully motivating. Debbie
