Hubby update--they had to do the spinal fusion after all. Apparently there were a lot of big blood vessels down there that the doc wasn't expecting, so he lost about a unit of blood, but they're upping his intravenous fluids rather than transfusing. He'll be in the hospital for at least three days, and I don't know if that counts today or not. Doc was hoping it was just a matter of a bone fragment pressing on the nerves, which would have had Hubby back on his feet and back at work within days, but that is not the case. I don't know when we'll get back to what passes for normal around here.
But he's out of surgery, he's coherent, he can move his legs, he has all feeling, and he should stop waking up screaming. I keep reminding myself of the priorities.
Not exactly life-shattering, but:
1 Still not dead
2 Just finished first term and still loving job -- go me!
3 Class production was roaring success -- go kiddies!
4 Going home to UK for Christmas and Hogmanay! Yay!
5 Recently been on National Television, singing for President with wee buggers. Random or what?
Does anyone remember what the gift limit is for the secret santa exchange?

I have an interview next month for a position on the Director's Advisory Council for Women at work. There's only 15 slots out of 5000 employees, and it's considered a pretty big honor and stuff. They really dug my resume.
Not sure that I'll get the spot, but it's pretty damn exciting to be in the running.
