Lughnasa Waxing Harvest Moon
This was a doctor day. Kate and I went to see a spine surgeon she has seen before. She leans now toward some surgical intervention since the various palliatives: drugs, nerve root and facet joint blocks, exercise and stoicism no longer provide sufficient relief. Surgery is the last option and in the case of matters spinal one usually chosen as such. Her surgeon is positive about the chances for success, success measured as a substantive reduction in pain, though not cessation.
We stopped at Burger Jones for a delayed lunch. 3200 block of West Lake Street. If you want a trip back to the late 50’s early 60’s, but updated with booze and choices in shakes and burgers you didn’t have back then, Burger Jones is the place. Fun.
Long nap. Just now getting roused for the remainder of the day.
Liberalism and the liberal tradition is much on my mind since have to write a sermon for the 6th of September. Reading, reading, reading. Thinking. Pondering. Like that.
