Granny's gone and done it again

Maybe going through the motions might help her get through? I wish her success. What surgery is she having, if you don't mind my asking?

She's been having mysterious nerve issues in her wrist, arm, and neck. At first they tried an injection in the neck, but it didn't change anything so they ruled out something or other (sorry, I can't remember).
They decided on this surgery where they will relieve pressure on the tendon at her wrist through some artful cutting, and move the tendon near her elbow to a slightly different location.
I was a little doubtful that any of this sounds like a good idea, but mom is very eager to get it done because her tramadol and gabapentin aren't doing enough to relieve the pain.

Good night, @LTAY! Sleep well.

Will keep her and her doctors in prayer that this resolves the issues and relieves her pain.

There is some sort of straw you can use to help with the habit.

I very much appreciate it!

Anyone still awake?

I saw two corn fields today that will not be harvested. The are burnt crispy from lack of rain. I bet that there is not a bushel of kernels in the whole acreage. 60-80 acres at least.

Good enough for cattle.

Mom's surgery is tomorrow... since she has to fast you would think it would be a morning appointment. Nope, when the office called this afternoon to let her know her time slot, it's 1 pm! Ok, that would work great for me, but she's a morning lark!
She wakes at 4-5 am. So no tea, breakfast, lunch... and no smoking.
She's not going to manage the no smoking for that many hours. If she was able to do that kind of stretch, she would have been able to quit years ago.

I wouldn't be able to do that time because I have hypoglycemia.

Man, you'd think we were a couple of old-timers! I've been snuggled under my electric blanket, reading and watching tv. Had a mug of chicken noodle soup and a cup of honey-sweetened peach tea (DH is my darling!). And now I have a purring cat sitting on my chest. Life is good even if I don't feel awesome.

And being grateful usually brings joy during difficult times.
