Awaiting results from an MRI done earlier this week. Increasing "burning" sensations and sensitivity to light touch and temperature stimulated exam. Spine surgery now scheduled for 17 February.
Strength and coordination continue to improve. Pam and I walked 4 miles on the trail this weekend and I was able to complete 5 miles in 88 minutes, on the treadmill yesterday. (I've got a goal in mind).
Change at Procter & Gamble as the two people who were my direct "bosses" took early retirement. I'm continuing to work a reduced schedule and am looking to reduce the number of departments I lead. I'm very interested in increasing my focus on "Lifestyle Medicine."
Intellectually I understand how blessed I am, emotionally I'm a bit fatigued.
New Year... renewed hope... rws

Hi Ron,
Sandy Hansen here (lurking on Steve's facebook)...Had to respond with empathy on the emotional fatigue. My knee repalcement has not followed the normal recovery path(I think because of all the scar tissue from my accident 22 years ago and the subsequant surgeries to repair the damage). I had to have a manipulation 6 weeks post knee replacement and now have less ROM than I did pre manipulation. I have to start back to work Jan. 26 which will be tough since my work is physically demanding. I am working with a group of challenging autistic kids now. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Sandy
