It snowed glitter today. Bright, silvery, shiny, glittery flakes. It looked so beautiful.
The snow is drifted 3 feet deep in the front yard and looks like it is covered in diamonds.
Temperatures have been brutally cold for the last few weeks with many days being below zero.
Today the real feel temperature is -10 degrees but the sun is shining so it looks warm outside.
This winter feels like it is never ending and more snow is predicted over the next few days.
Covid, remote learning and shopping for groceries on-line have kept me virtually housebound.
There's nowhere to go anyway so the weather hasn't really been an issue.
In two weeks my husband will be having Thoracic spine surgery at RUSH in Chicago.
I hope the snow lightens up so we can safely drive in to the city.
To be honest I'm more concerned about driving in the snowy weather than his surgery.
We found one of the best surgeons in the USA for this type of surgery and I am thrilled.
Dr. Kern Singh teaches other Orthopedic Dr.'s how to do this rarely performed surgery.
Our son is coming home from St.Paul for the week to help us out and he has a friend with an apartment just 3 minutes from the RUSH Medical campus just in case we need a place to stay.
Our daughter took two days off of work and will be in charge of our Chihuahua back home and will also be doing the remote learning with the grandkids (her OWN kids).
Our son-in-law, a firefighter/medic, also has a few days off after the surgery in case we need his help.
I want the surgery to be over already and to be back at home playing nursemaid.
(Remind me of this when I next post about him being a horrible patient and him accusing me of acting like Nurse Ratchet....both of which will be true).
Hope you are all staying healthy!
Thanks for reading,
Love, Lolly
