There are few times in life that you can say something like "that was the most incredible thing I have ever seen in my life" without it being hyperbolic. That being said:
That was the most incredible thing I have ever seen in my life.
I live right between Dallas and Ft. Worth, so I was in the direct line of totality in today's solar eclipse. For the last week it had been up in the air as to whether or not we would be able to see it due to cloud cover. It had been cloudy all day. But then, about ten minutes before totality... the clouds parted and it was clear in that one spot for just long enough to allow visibility.
I just. I have no words. It was the most surreal experience I've ever had.
We were sitting in our back yard to watch, and when totality hit the darkness was eerie. Our outside flood lights operate on photocells to come on at dusk, and they turned on.
This was 1:40pm CST.
We were simply awestruck. I didn't bother wasting time taking pictures beyond just that one snap to capture what it looked like around me, not only because I wanted to just watch totality with my own eyes, but because I also knew that my photographer sister (x) was going to take far better photos with her DSLR and telephoto lense than I ever could with my dinky little phone camera.
I wasn't wrong.
Just... look at that shit. Look at it. Especially the third one with the freaking birds.
It happened almost three hours ago and I'm still awestruck.
Mom of the Wild is in recovery and we're waiting for the text to go and see her. Everything went great.
Mom of the Wild is having surgery tomorrow.
As the title says, Mom of the Wild is having surgery tomorrow, 4/3, at 3:15pm. She's having a total joint replacement in her right knee, and once that's healed she'll have the same done to her left. We're calling them her "new bionic knees."
Any and all positive energy, prayers, well-wishes, or whatever else you believe in would be lovely.
She needs this surgery very, VERY badly. Her knees have impacted her ability to function day to day and has made going pretty much anywhere a task of quite a bit of effort and planning because her mobility has been so compromised. She can't stand for long, and walking is extremely painful. She's been using a cane for the last two or three years now.
There's literally nothing left as far as cushioning in her knees, and when she walks you can audibly hear the bones creaking and grinding against each other. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end because it sounds so terrible. She's been in a lot of pain that I'm pretty sure she's been downplaying because that's just the way she is, so I'm really glad she's finally starting down the road of fixing things.
To be completely selfish for a moment, I want my mom back.
She's in good spirits about it all because she's ready to get her mobility back and do all of the work required in PT to do so. Her ortho, Dr. Lowry, has also said that based on her authorization testing and pre-op clearance she's going to do great in surgery and he expects her to have an excellent outcome, which gives me a lot of confidence.
So... yeah. As I said, any and all prayers or positive energy that any of you can spare tomorrow would be greatly appreciated. I'll be giving updates as needed. 💜
