Bill's willingness to get the dogs up when I can't fall asleep. The last 2 nights have been rough. I am ruminating about the surgery. I do what I know to do to stop but it's winning. The last time I looked at the clock it was 4:00. Woke for.thelast time at 9.

One thing I did while roaming the house in the middle of the night was to look at the notes from the Orthopaedic Surgeon I saw before seeing the Neurosurgeon. His full report was in my portal and included everything Aetna says it needs. I sent it through the portal but I think I sent it multiple times. They are going to think I'm nuts!

Indian Pinks and Hydrangeas are beginning to bloom.

Incredible how different I feel when the scale says 259.9 vs 260.1. The latter was this morning!
