The Best or Worst of Times--June 14, 2014

    This may be the worst of  times to contemplate elective major surgery or it could be the best of times to do so.  At present there are mobility issues affecting another which may necessitate that I be as mobile as possible.  But time is not always kind in such cases and if mobility in the first case is not to improve, then mobility in the second case should be improved as much as is medically possible.  While the disposition of the first case is presently undetermined, it is known that the second case will definitely not improve without surgical intervention, and is unlikely to remain static.  So that may well be the only instance where either of us has any choice to make.
