Next Tuesday. The post was from earlier today.

Since it was just posted today, I'm taking it as surgery next Tuesday.

Best wishes for Sharon.

Guys ---

I am busy impersonating a one-armed paperhanger while getting ready to head down to Atlanta Tuesday for Sharon's surgery, which will probably have me off the grid for at least a week or so except for emergency matters. I will be having a phone or tele conference with the Evergreen team before I disappear, however, and Scott Kroopf has confirmed that they will be setting up an Evergreen Connection here on the forums.

So it might be another two weeks until the next snippet.

Forget about us Mr. Weber. Just take care of your family. Our prayers are with you.

Agreed, my prayers are with Sharon and David. Having said that I hope she has a top notch surgeon. If it's another spine surgery, the doc I use, Dr. Paul McAfee in Towson Maryland may be quite literally the best in the world at the art of spine surgery. Hope the doc your using is of that same caliber.

Thank you all for your well wishes.

As for the schedule, we're going down for the pre-op on to state, but the surgery itself is scheduled for Friday.

Her surgeon is Doctor Dheera Ananthakrishnan, probably one of the handful of top flight surgeons for scoliosis (which is Sharon's problem), and a really cool person. She's spent time as a volunteer with both Doctors without Borders and the World Health Organization, and we have been extraordinarily fortunate to have her available in Atlanta, which is only about two hours down the road from Greenville. There have been unanticipated difficulties with Sharon's past surgeries, in at least two cases requiring a substantial rethink of the procedure — or, at least, of how best to gain access to the necessary portions of the spine — but we have never felt anything other than completely confident in Doctor A (as she is known to patients and staff alike for, I think, obvious reasons ) and her skill.

My thoughts are with Sharon, and I hope she does well and has a quick recovery. I also hope your kids are coping with this.

And with Snippet #34 we most likely have come to the end of the small bytes as appetizers for the feast of deliverance, that being the UPS/FedEx/USPS and all of the other delivery methods for the 'dead tree' editions of "Like a Mighty Army" (I'll just assume that lacking live wyverns, air delivery is still in future, waiting on Bezos' robot copter!) 16 days of winter (groundhog's shadow) before the sunrise of York ... err ... LAMA!

Under "why I love ebooks" is that I won't have to worry about delivery time. I'll have LAMA in my greedy hands (actually on my computer) on the 18th.

Under "why I dislike ebooks" is that I can't get it earlier.

That is good to hear that she is in the best of hands.
