Just waiting...

So it's summertime... and here we are, not where we had planned to be in Mesa Arizona in the middle of the summer. Why would anybody be here now if they had a choice?

Well, for us it's obvious why we're here as I must have surgery on June 17th so we will hang around. Temperatures are rising and it really doesn't matter if it's 110 or 115 as both are not very conducive to our active lifestyle. We are finding ways to work around it. Today it will be 110 as we await the moment which will change our lives a little bit and determine what we do for the rest of the summer.

What have we been doing since our last blog? Mostly working on a routine and going to lots of pre-op appointments. Who would have thought that there would be so many pre-operative appointments before a surgery? Now I know....

Other than the heat, it's been pretty pleasant. We've done some birding, some hiking, hitting the fitness center, enjoying the resort pool, going to happy hours and simply enjoying life as best we can.

Before we know it, it'll be June 17th. My life will change a bit as I will experience some pain and I will be in recovery from a surgery which hopefully will expunge me of a cancer.

From what I understand, rehab won't be that bad, I'm hoping that's true. I expect 7 to 10 days of recovery and a few more days after that before we're able to actually consider going back on the road. I do look forward to that opportunity.

Where will we go? I don't know yet. It obviously depends on the outcome of the surgery and how well I rehab. Stay tuned, because we plan to hit the road as soon as we can. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers, they are appreciated.
