Well, my husband now has surgery scheduled for next week. Not the best way to start the new year, but I think he'll be glad for it, if the results are what we hope. He's having a body part removed that he didn't even know he had, until it started going wrong: the parathyroid. Evidently we have several of them. They regulate the calcium in the blood, and when you have too much you get fatigued (his main symptom) and then confused (so that explains it!). He has good and bad days, but is glad to know there's something actually wrong that can be made right.
Not looking forward to the idea of him having general anesthetic, and the possible damage to his voice, but the surgeon thinks the risk is very low. Nevertheless, I'm putting off all the me-stuff and spending New Year's here with him.
I got a slightly late package from my son and his partner: a very cool one-strap pack, which I love, an autographed knitting book from the owner of Article Pract, and best and most marvelous of all, a gorgeous *felted* yoga-mat bag that D, my son's partner, made for me. It's incredibly lovely--brillant colors, soft, thick wool. I'll get some pictures up soon. Wow, I love late presents! They make a whole day great, no matter what they are--and this one is spectacular!
Today: selling fireworks, teaching meditation at the men's prison, and fooling with my iPod. And listening to endless obits on Ford. Nice guy, I guess. A lot better Republican than the kind they make now.
