Candle-lighting time is nearing

and I am going to be shutting down the computer for Shabbat. I spoke to my surgeon today, no results yet (not expected yet either, but it doesn't hurt to try). She said it sounds like my recovery is going well.

Except for some medication-related fatigue, I feel great - and I wish I could be walking already, but I'm staying put. I will not be at Beth Jacob tomorrow, but I do expect to be there on Monday evening for Simchat Torah.

Your prayers and blessings provide the gentle comfort I crave. To all who read this, family and friends, have a wonderful Shabbat and stay tuned.
