re-boot

While avoiding writing publicly about the hard stuff, I will say that I have faith it will work out.

Meanwhile, life goes on in other arenas. Just like those view-finder things we had, and that my kids have and love, when you push the lever on the plastic device, you get a completely different picture.

This is today's picture disk:

I had an amazingly productive morning. I had pre-natal clients for three hours. Then I got to do many phone calls and scheduling stuff that has been hanging around to get done. I planned dinner for today and tomorrow, and then I gave Emma a bath. [On Shabbat she got out through the missing plank in our gate, and I don't know *what* she rolled in, but boy, was she smelly. She also ate something unsavory out there... I won't go into details how I know that fact.]

But now I am lying in bed with another bad dizzy spell. So bad that I need to close the computer soon and sit in the dark. Tomorrow I will call my doctor and see what she thinks; if this could be related to the medication tapering off.

And with another pull of the view-finder lever: Tomorrow I am going to see the plastic surgeon who is the head of plastic surgery in Soroka (Prof. Rosenberg- I have seen him three or four times before, and I'm sure I've mentioned him here before). I am going to get an up-to-date opinion on the issues about possible reconstruction surgery, and consult with him also about the gyn surgery I need, and see if he thinks it is doable.

Pull the lever on the view finder again, and: I got a call from my former orchestra partner today, asking me if I want to play a few really good concert series (series..s? plural of series??). I gladly accepted! The concerts are in May, with the first two rehearsals at the end of April. The two births I am waiting for are supposed to be in the very beginning of April, so it should work out. I'll have about 6 weeks to practice, which is good. The concerts are here in Be'er Sheva and also in Tel Aviv & Rechovot. I'll be playing Carmina Burana, which is a piece that is really intense- I really love it. I have played it before. It is pretty difficult, though. After that, I'll play a series including Beethoven's Eroica symphony (the 3rd symphony), which I have also played many, m a n y times, and love it every time all over again. I am looking forward to oiling up my valves again and practicing for a goal. Yay.

OK, I have to close this computer. The world is shifting before my very eyes, and I am not actually holding a view finder. I'll call my doctor about this in the morning.
