I'm being stoic about the medical stuff. Nothing I can do except find out what it is, what the prognosis is, and what, if anything, can be done, and then decide if I want the treatment/surgery. I feel pretty removed from it except that it is going to take time and be disruptive (appointments, tests, surgeries) and this time of year there is a ton of outside work getting things buttoned up for winter. I had planned for shoulder surgery end of October. Now I may have to travel to Boston for throat surgery and deal with the nodules.Those can be done locally. Still, whatever I can't get done can wait till spring. I think I might also put off some things and take that time to ride the Super Cub through the fall colors - they're supposed to be really good this fall. I'm not going to let medical issues detract any more than they have to.I might be ready to go but I'm not ready to quit living while I'm herer.
