Hey Dew,
I so recognize the breakthrough pain, esp. whenever there's long distances to travel.
It's great that you can enjoy yourself in the pool and both exercise as well as get shelter from the sun. You are spending a lot of time in that pool!

I love that you were able to sleep for 8 hours!!!
I just checked out the blog and it's lovely to read, very calming in such a stressful time. Bless you for having started it for your sister!
I hope the surgery went well.
Keep us posted!
Enjoy the AZ weather, hope you can get some more sleep while you're there (such a lovely thing to hear that you slept well).
