One more step closer

The day of surgery approaches! 

I had a call with the anesthesiologist today. According to him, the entire intervention could take 2 hours. "But it's a much less risky surgery than your thyroid removal."

In fact, the clinic isn't in Amiens as I thought before, it's even farther away, in Berck sur Mer. An old 19 century building directly located at the seaside. I'm pleased that the location for my life-changing experience has some style.

Back at home I will try to make good use of the necessary time of rest and recover. I have to think about many things and try to shape the future within the narrow limits available. There are a lot of things that no longer work for me. I cannot get rid of all of it, but I may at least close some ways and open new ones.

At the moment, I am facing a period where I am being criticized by everyone. Although criticism is usually justified, it's becoming more difficult to endure. I wish someone would say something kind to me for a change. I came to realize during my Covid infection that I am truly on my own, without any support, and I accept that. But I still have to get some practice.
