Rosemary's Blessing
I, God, am in your midst.
Whoever knows me can never fall.
Not in the heights, nor the depths, nor in the breadths.
For I am love, which the vast expanses of evil can never still.
Hildegard of Bingen

Bulletin 5 on the Lumbar Stenosis event:
- Surgery at Dallas Presby yesterday to take the pinch off of my spinal nerve which sent pain from my derriere all the way to my right foot & arch.
- the only pain now comes from the incision. This was expected to be pretty significant. Remedy: 2 pain pills. Result: no pain, but significant dizziness. I thought I had downed 2 shots of Jack Daniels.
