This has not been a very good spring for us; our coach has been in the shop for over a month (more about that will be posted later and elsewhere), I was hospitalized for one nite with "community pneumonia" (full recovery the next day), I had a pretty bad fall biking leaving lots of road rash but nothing broken and now Marlene will be having surgery next week.
Her back has been bothering her, so her doctor sent her to a neurologist who ordered an MRI. The MRI showed a tumor by her spine. Meeting with the surgeon yesterday, he immediately planned for surgery next week, tho both he and the neurologist are fairly confident that the tumor is benign. The surgeon feels that the procedure should be very straight forward and, after therapy, things should be back to normal other than lingering pain for 3-6 months.
With surgery and recovery next week and about a week of therapy thereafter and who knows what after that, we won't be leaving on June 8th as planned. Our summer schedule had been built around a wedding in Fort Collins, CO to start and the FMCA Redmond, OR convention in August. We are still planning on Redmond but don't know when and in which direction we'll head.
I'll post updates after the surgery and therapy.
