Oof, that's rough. Waiting to be well enough for surgery is hard, and then recovering is not much of a picnic. I hope once he's ready he has excellent educational and professional opportunities showered upon him. {{{Cindy and fam}}}
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Cindy and family}} I am sorry this is so rough. We have a different sense of time than someone his age too and putting off his goals must be so difficult. The most important thing of course is keeping on top of his physical issues and it sounds like you have good advisers there. He has an abundance of love surrounding him, and good medical care. Sending along the ~ma as icing on top of that.

Young Living Essential Oils is having a big convention in Salt Lake. I despise them and all their works because they took advantage of Hubby and his love of armoring to try and outfit a jousting event they were putting on, then it turned out that they weren't actually planning to pay anyone who was making the armor, training the horses, providing the horses, or riding into lances. He was so excited to be making money doing what he loved and to hang out with medieval enthusiast and big friendly horses.
Societal expectations have kept a lot of arsons from happening in my state.

Cindy, my heart goes out to you and your son. May the road ahead be as smooth as possible.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Cindy, I'm so sorry he and your family are going through this. All good thoughts that things go as smoothly and well as possible. Wishing you strength.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Cindy, that's such hard news. Not just the serious implications for his health now and going forward, but to feel like his dreams are being thwarted.
Wrapping you and your family up in loving thoughts.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
((((Cindy))))((((Son))))((((Entire Cindy family)))) It's so, so hard, and scary, and emotionally draining. I am so sorry. I'll be praying for all of you, and for steady hands and wisdom to his medical team.

I hate grifters like that, Connie.
