And the Reason Is....

As I was heading towards City for an appointment, my cell phone rang. With a sinking feeling, I saw that it was Daughter. I answered, wondering what crisis she might have created to try to convince me to come pick her up. I was amazed at how happy she sounded. "Guess what!" She didn't give me time to guess before informing me that Super Supervisor was back. She'd just come in and and Sub was going to leave to go back to the workshop.
.
I wonder what it would take to convince SS to never again take a day off....
.
I'm facing knee surgery and endoscopy. Back in March I injured my knee. It seemed to be getting better until I decided it was time to move up to the 6 inch platform for my wii step. I finally decided I needed to go to the doctor. I tore something. She said I probably had a small tear after I fell, and then the taller step shredded it. They're going to schedule an MRI and get me in with an orthopedist.
.
My ongoing heartburn that's not responding well to over the counter medications is a sign that I now need to see a GI specialist and get it scoped to determine the extent of the damage and see if I need my esophagus stretched.
.
I'm feeling a bit old, but the bigger issue is going to be Daughter's response to all of this. She'll have to know, and she will totally freak out. She'll be convinced I'm dying. I'll wait to tell her. Maybe we can have a few good days now that SS is back before she finds out that I am human and begins her next decline....
