Also tomorrow night is the concert that I bought son tickets for for Xmas - a chamber concert of music from the Final Fantasy game. I thought he’d take his friend but he wants me to go.
Isn't that marvelous! He wants to spend time with YOU! I just love that. xoxoxo

I think it's absolutely wonderful that your son wants you to go with him to the concert. That says a lot about son/mother relationship. Go and have a great time!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Saw an old friend yesterday for the first time in a long time. Her husband was a good surfing buddy of my ex. Apparently now he doesn't see my ex because he feels my ex has "changed".
Now a word of advice for my hypothyroid friends here - PLEASE take charge of your own health! My poor friend is hypothyroid, came to see me for menopausal hormone replacement, but her thyroid level was way too low (TSH should be 1 or below for most treated thyroid patients, hers was 2.8) and her B12 was really low at 188 (and the doctor who had tested it never told her to take B12, or gave her any B12 shots, or anything!!!). I'm so glad she came to see me because she was feeling awful and I'm pretty sure I'll have her humming along within a month. If you have thyroid problems please educate yourself so you can become an advocate for your own health.

In today’s healthcare climate, that could/should read, “If you have any medical problems please educate yourself so you can become an advocate for your own health.” Or find a healthcare friend to help advocate for you. It’s sick what sometimes passes for healthcare these days. Pun intended. Glad you’re able to help her KML and great advice.

Well - I actually feel kinda sorry for my ex today.
My son mentioned a couple of days ago that his father had the flu (or some similar bug) and also was having problems with his "spine" and was having to lay on the floor. Today he tells me his father is having surgery (obviously urgent, as why else would you operate when someone just had a viral infection) on his "spine" today(he wasn't clear if it was lumbar or cervical spine).
He just retired, turns 60 this week, and this will be his 4th orthopedic surgery in the last 2 years I think. Karma is kicking his behind so badly that I actually feel bad for him. An urgent surgery on the lumbar spine usually means a nerve to bladder or bowel control is being compromised. An urgent surgery on the cervical spine might mean compression of the spinal cord. It's never a good thing if they have to operate urgently on your spine.
(Meanwhile though I'm going to try to buy tickets to the Rolling Stones tomorrow. I kinda feel like I've gone my whole life and never seen them, I should try to do so before they kick the bucket. )
Son JUST came downstairs and told me he’s ok but still in pain. Sounds like it must have been laparoscopic surgery to decompress a nerve because his wife is hoping he might go home today, which would only be possible with laparoscopic surgery. But he’s apparently still in pain so it’s not clear if it’s been successful.
Not to downplay the XH's situation, but I really just wanted to say you should TOTALLY buy the Stones tickets. Sparky and I got the chance to see KISS last year and we are SO glad we sprang for the tickets. You'll regret it if you don't.

the Kiss tour was phenomenal. K and his son saw the show last weekend and were blown away. Brother saw it last year and said the same thing. I was irked brother didn't ask me to go with him as that's our thing, but he thought I'd say no.
Saw the Stones in 1989 with exh. Wasn't overly impressed but hey it was the Stones and I'm glad I went. K was at the same show and thought it was amazing. Exh and I had broken up but went together since we had the tickets and had spend a whopping $45 each which was big bucks back then. We started making out during Paint it Black, so the rest of the set wasn't actually something either of us paid too much attention to, as we were otherwise occupied with more important things like getting back together, but that song always put a smile on both our faces for many years to come. Go see them. It's worth it.
