I want to say a big thank you to all of you who sent me sympathetic replies and healing thoughts yesterday. It really did cheer me up, and my back is feeling a bit better today, so I hope I'll be able to get through the next few weeks before the surgery tolerably well. As long as I can get well enough to start playing the harp and sewing a little again I will not ask for more. And I have been catching up on Game of Thrones and am now on season 3 (though I have read the books so I know what is going to happen) so at least I have been quite well entertained. And come June all this will hopefully be all over and I will be healthy again! So I am trying to think positive thoughts today. Thank you all for being here for me, dear followers. It really means a lot.
