Northern Exposure

Our excursion to Cleveland this week was postponed due to the doctor booking a surgery when he was already booked for an office visit. This is the second time Renee has been bumped by this surgeon. And I’m not talking in a dance floor kind of way. We just received a cold message on our answering machine that your appointment has been cancelled, please call to reschedule. We try to explain to these folks that we are coming from 350 miles away and that logistical planning for this is the equivalent of reuniting the original 5th Dimension members for a five part harmonic regeneration of Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In, pretty hard considering at least one member has already ascended to the heavens they were singing about.

On or about February 5th, will the Moon be in the seventh house and Jupiter align with Mars? I don’t know, but Saturn and Pluto will be in alignment, appropriately enough, with Uranus. I’m not sure if peace will guide the planets but I-71 will guide us back to Cleveand. Unless, of course, we get another chilly voice message disrupting the whole planetary alignment process we put in place to make it happen.

Renee’s discomfort in her mid-section is not decreasing and at least one of her local physicians has used the A-word. Around hear that naughty little word is adhesions. Adhesions are internal scar tissue. Everyone who has had surgery has some adhesions, usually no big deal, but some people scar worse than others and some scar tissue continues to grow beyond the normal area of incision.

Renee has experienced this before. Her adhesions got out of hand following her kidney removal surgery six years ago leading to further more invasive surgery. We don’t want that. She’s already been opened up more times than a refrigerator in a busy kitchen. More surgery, more adhesions, it’s a vicious cycle. We are hoping we don’t need to go there.

We are also hoping for some better weather. The winter doldrums have set in. Can you tell from the tone of this post? We went from three weeks of sub-freezing temperatures to two weeks of dark, dreary, foggy, misty, sinus clogging, head stuffing, pneumonia inducing cold rain. I can’t remember where I left my shades because I haven’t needed to even squint when going outdoors. We've gone from a Canadian cold front to a Seattle soaking, we need a January jolt of light.

So put your hands together, if we sing real loud, in harmony, maybe it will chase the clouds from the sky. And maybe ….

Let the sun shine in …
