Yesterday was an okay day. More than anything I was just tired - not many other side effects except the tingling in the hands and feet. We had an excellent meal brought to us by a family in the ward.

This morning I took the girls over to a neighbor's house while I ran to the store. Unfortunately I think MJ cried almost the whole time I was gone. She's been a little under the weather lately because she is cutting her first set of molars.

Well, today I got my first Christmas present - a surgery date scheduled for December 21st... My choices were December 21st or January 4th, and with insurance rolling over to a new year in January, it makes more sense for us financially to have the surgery before the new year. My only wish now is that I will be out of the hospital by Christmas. On the other side it does give me more time than I initially thought I would have to get things ready for Christmas. I was initially thinking that the surgery would be the first or second week of December.

Tonight was pack meeting and Luke got his Webelos award and also his Arrow of Light. I'm grateful for the excellent Webelos leaders in the ward that have helped him earn these!
