Well, the good news is workers comp will pay for my surgery. The bad news is, I still have to have it. The next good bit of news is they can do it the non slice and dice way and my recovery time has been dramatically shortened. The bad news, they insist doing it under general anesthesia...and I insist they can do it either regonally or locally. I've done my research, if my doc is as good as everyone says he is, he can do it the way I want it done. Bill goes in tomorrow for his procedure. Ya'll pray for him please. Thats pretty much all for now. LIfe lately has been a delicate balance of what I want and what others seems to want for me. The curveballs in this game called life have come on fast and hard lately...it's time I hit a homer....though I'll settle for getting on first base.
