The bad news is, the reason I have plenty of vacation\/sick time because I am not very good at being still. Two weeks with my leg elevated does not sound like a good time. I believe we can at least get that done in a reclining chair, so hopefully I do <em>not<\/em> have to be in bed for two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>December 20. There&#8217;s a lot going on between now and then, and I will probably add some more stuff just to make sure we don&#8217;t miss out on anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m sure Peggy is really looking forward to it, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who knew how hard it would be to pick a date for surgery?
