Next Step

Susan takes possession of our house in Michigan this week. I'll help for a week plus. Movers will arrive sometime on Thursday and maybe finish that day or the next. Is that when the madness begins? Actually the madness began long ago so this is just the next step.

An apparent growth on Susan's spine is pressuring her nerve and for weeks she has become increasingly incapacitated. With stronger pain killers she can sit up and hobble around to care for personal needs. A dye test and likely surgery are on the horizon but we both expect a miracle cure if results of her surgery are as good as the last time.

Sarah is working in Frankfort, MI, 7 miles from the cottage but 40 miles from the new house. You can see how that is a problem especially since staying at the cottage is not an option.

Yes we all face the next step, different yet alike in challenge. Susan, usually tireless, is stuck in pain. Ouch.

Next step indeed. Another blog entry may record - - - the next step! Afterall, it's all about working the steps.
