Default Late Friday night reply...

Hi, ResQGal...
Yup, a pair of twelvers will do the number on a body... so, take advantage of the weekend and rest up. From what I see on the weather map, you oughta have some pretty weather on Saturday, with a little chance of some wetsiveness as the weekend slides on. One good thing about working long hours is you're usually pretty tired afterwards, so sleep should come easy to you; I hope it does, ResQGal... you deserve a good night's rest.

Well, the weekend has me thinking about what's going to come next... Thursday afternoon I saw the Orthopedic Surgeon for an ongoing follow-up on my lumbar spine surgery... he looked at my entire spine, and focused on some cervical issues I've been enduring... he ordered some X-Rays to compare with those from a couple of years ago. He decided that my wretched neck warranted a further look with an MRI scan. So, I'm left wondering and worrying this weekend about what's going to greet me when the results come back...

Why can't the future ever have something to anticipate instead of something to dread?
