The Kim family tragedy is freaking me out a little bit in a personal way because apparently they were headed to Gold Beach, Oregon. Gold Beach is where my dad crashed his plane. I have lately been wondering if the wreckage is still there in the mountains--apparently it's often left if it's in a place where it would be difficult to remove. But they had to go there to get his body, so I don't know.

Aubrey is here watching Blue (Bless you, Aubrey!) so I am supposed to be working--and I am, but I took a short break to write this. I hope I don't get in trouble with Aubrey. :P Anyway, I just wanted to note that Evan saw a neurosurgeon this morning who showed us his ruptured disk on the MRI and recommended surgery, which will hopefully be scheduled for next week. I don't know anything about recovery times or measures yet.

Spinal surgery isn't anywhere near as freaky sounding as it used to be. A ruptured disc can often be fixed and the patient mobile and recovered in 3 to 7 days. (I don't mean painting the ceiling mobile, I mean moving without restriction/severe pain).

Depends on the damage and how much they have to do. But it is a common and therefore, much practised, proceedure. :-)

I think the Oregon thing is freaking a lot of people. Sorry you have extra freak added.

Yes, this is what we've been hearing--seems that everyone and their brother has had this particular surgery, and the recovery is quick, thank goodness! It's actually exciting to have a resolution in sight.
