Let’s take a moment and thank all the veterans that have served our country, so that we can have our freedom. Thank you!

 I went to my follow up neurosurgeon appointment today. He confirmed that I have avoided surgery! Yay! I asked to continue with physical therapy for a bit longer as I felt it was offer slow and steady improvement. He offered to send me to the pain clinic for trigger muscle injections, which I declined. While I am still not comfortable a lot, I can handle this without injections at this point. Plus that sounds not pleasant.

On my way home, I receive a gift. I turned the corner and standing in the middle of the road was a big, beautiful and proud turkey. He was in the way of traffic but everyone did their best to offer him some space. 

He was crossing the street with no sense of urgency. He was more showy than I have seen turkeys in the past. All he wanted to do was to get to the other side.

I had many meetings today. I worked until about 7 pm. I am hoping the work pays off this week.

When I was on the phone, Paul had a yackity sax moment with the dogs. One dog vomited, as he was trying to remove that dog, the other dog came in and ate it. This grossed Paul out and he started gagging loudly. The gagging involved very interesting whole body movements. Slightly dramatic.

Paul and I had some good quality time together for a little bit. We were chatting and laughing. My favorite.
