gfp: I'm still awaiting culture results. I thought they would be available by now. I've messaged my surgery team. Assuming the cultures are negative I am looking at a mid June surgery date. The surgery scheduler gave me an earliest date as May 22nd. But that doesn't work for me. I have a bunch of family events in the Chicago suburbs between June 8th and June 16th. I'll drive there and back. Airports are a hassle and I like a good road trip now and then. I'll return on June 17th and do the surgery on Wed June 19th. My Surgeon only operates at the hospital in my network on Wednesdays and Thursdays. And he doesn't operate on Fridays at all. And he's in high demand. So I'm content to wait.

I'm able to do a few things. I bought a zero turn riding mower last week. They delivered it today and I mowed my acre and a half of grass with it. A little tricky to drive at first. But I'll get the hang of it. I started restaining/treating my deck. I did the stairs yesterday. I have to wash the top part and give it a couple days to dry. But it's something I can do sitting on a short garden stool. I can't let a little discomfort put my whole life on hold. I can't wait until fall to take care of at least some things. For treating the deck I use Ready Seal in a Pecan shade. Great product. Expensive. But for $200 a year (one 5 gallon can) it beats replacing an 18 x 30 foot deck. After treatment to deck looks like a piece of furniture for about a month before sun and rain dull the finish a little. Treat it every spring and the deck should outlive me.
