Ok, I got back from my walk (and my doctor appointment and Arlina's doctor appointment and a chinese food lunch) to find all these beautiful comments to my last post. It made me cry (in a good way), because you guys are so there for us. I can't tell you how much that means.
The other day, someone wrote in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
cancersupport about how a lot of her friends had kind of dropped off the map after she had been dealing with a family member's cancer for a while. It happens. There are a lot of people in my three-dimensional world who have disappeared in the past year, even some that I didn't expect. But then there are other people, some who I really wouldn't have counted as close friends, who have just stepped right up and been there for us every step of the way.
And then there are you--my lj friends. I have had the wonderful experience of meeting some of you in person, but many of you I know just in the cyberworld. But even if we have never met in person, you have touched me in very real ways. I am humbled and awed by your generosity of spirit, your willingness to listen, and your words of support. You help me through this. I wish I had better words to say "thank you".
We saw the surgeon this afternoon to go over things before tomorrow. He is so cool--he just radiates "everything will be ok". He thinks the MRI will be fine--that the pain is caused by how Arlina has had to adjust her posture to the hip pain. It makes sense.
Oh, here's a picture from this afternoon at the chinese restaurant. How could anyone look at this face and not feel better?

Oh, and I've dropped pretty much out of everyone's lives, so you shouldn't feel bad. ;)
