The Light at the End of the Tunnel Better Not be a Train

We are calling this the LOST SUMMER. It has been too full of bad news.

First Lola's sciatic nerve suffered damage and caused her a great deal of pain and misery. Then Lola had to have catarac surgery. I couldn't let her have all the attention, so I had an appendectomy which exacerbated an ongoing problem with my prostate. Then Lola got robbed in the hospital parking lot and the thieves tried to use her credit cards and also tried to open new accounts with her information.

Now the prostate problem has gotten much worse so the doctor is scheduling surgery to restructure my prostate. The insurance company has to approve everything before any definite dates are set, but hopefully surgery will be scheduled in the very near future. The recovery time will take six to eight weeks.

We had planned to visit the midwest this summer or fall but now we are just going to cancel all plans until further notice.
