I hope you feel stronger soon Lance. Glad things worked out. You met an interesting cast of characters, learned a bit more about your windpipe, began a mini almost-empty-nester experience and were inspired to write a thought provoking poem. Sounds like a win-win. Take care!

Aw thank you, Julie! I'm doing better every day, definitely have turned a corner since I wrote this post. And that's a fantastic summation. It really was a win-win! Hope all's well with you and the fam!

Glad you are recovering well. Surgery recovery is such a strange, mandated slowing-down. It's not fun, but there is *something* to it—to not having to rush or even to do. Just to rest and let your body do the work of healing. (Loved the poem, as well.)

Completely agree, Kathryn. There is definitely a perspective shift in the mandated slow-down. Glad you're well on your way to recovery yourself!
